L'autore:

When Francis Caldwell writes about Alaska and its wildlife, it's with the authority gleaned during half a century of roaming Alaska's forests and exploring its countless bays, rivers, fiords, oceans and mountains. He has accumulated a vast storehouse of knowledge that he shares with his readers. For example, when the author writes about shorebird migrations at Stormy River, he's drawing upon his experiences in the Copper and Stikine River's deltas. He was the invited keynote speaker at the Copper River Delta Shorebird Festival. When Caldwell writes about salmon and halibut, it's with the authority of someone who owned and operated his own commercial fishing vessel for four decades in Alaska. Most of the places mentioned still exist, but names have been changed, a technique copied after the late James Michener. The animals, birds, nature and places are real and, with exceptions, can still be seen. To read about the author's experiences with bears, read 'Up Close and Personal with Alaska's Bears,' in Book 2, Bear Country. The author can write with authority about single cylinder, air cooled engines in small boats because he explored much of southeast Alaska with one. (See Salmon on my mind) on Caldwell's website. Book Three covers the period from the time Adam is accidentally shot by one of his clients, their new business of chartering for bird watchers and fishermen, Fred's induction into the Navy and building the Golden Rule Lodge. Their yacht, the Adventuress was confiscated by the Navy during World War II, during a time when the Japanese were expected to invade southeast Alaska. Fred served in the South Pacific Theatre aboard a Landing Ship Tank (LST) in the Navy's Amphibious Corps, as did the author. The author lives with his wife Donna in Port Angeles, WA.
