Fishcamp

Description:

"In Fishcamp, Nancy Lord shares with us the natural and cultural history of the place near Cook Inlet, Alaska, where she and her partner have made a living, and a life, salmon fishing for the past eighteen years."--BOOK JACKET. "With poetic cadence and magical tone, Lord writes of her life from June to August, days filled with the mending of nets, the muscle-wrenching labor of the catch, the exquisite pleasure of an improvised hot-tub, and the often subtle beauty of the inlet's flora and fauna. Woven throughout Lord's adventures is the deeper history of the region - stories and legends of the native Dena'ina people; anecdotes about past and current residents; descriptions of their neighbors, both human and animal, who, like Lord and her partner, live with fish."--BOOK JACKET.
