Fufilling his dead father's dream of sailing north to Alaska in the boat they built themselves, a boy and his friend, a retired sailing captain, try to find work and a place for themselves in the wild northlands. Kathrene Pinkerton (June 9, 1887 September 6, 1967) was both a fiction and nonfiction writer whose writings focused on life in the northern wilderness of Canada. Pinkerton was born Kathrene Sutherland Gedney on June 9, 1887 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Later, she went on to earn a BA at the University of Wisconsin in 1909. Upon graduating, Pinkerton went on to conduct social work, focusing on tuberculosis outbreaks in rural Wisconsin. On March 24, 1911, she married Robert E. Pinkerton (1882 1970) , also a writer. In 1912, the couple moved to the wilderness of northern Ontario. There, they built their own cabin and learned how to survive in a region where the nearest village was eight miles away and could only be reached by canoe in summer and by dogsled in winter. There the couple focused on nonfiction writings, making a decent living submitting them to wilderness magazines. They remained there for some time, only emerging from the back country briefly for the birth of their daughter, Bobs Pinkerton. They returned to their cabin seven weeks after her birth. In 1917, the family moved to Colorado and later California before choosing to live on a fifty-foot boat off of the British Columbian and Alaskan coasts from 1924 1931. Originally only intending to live there three months, the family spent those seven years with Kathrene as the mate, Robert as the skipper, and daughter Bobs as the quartermaster when on vacation from boarding school. It was during this time that Kathrene focused on her writing, having started in 1922. EB.
