In the fall of 1944, Constance and Harmon ‘Bud’ Helmericks built a cabin and overwintered in Alaska’s remote Brooks Range. With spring melt, they resumed their odyssey north, intent on crossing the Continental Divide to explore the arctic barrens beyond. In Our Summer with the Eskimos, Connie’s third bestselling book, she continues the true story of their 26-month trek through beautiful and unforgiving wilderness across the top of Alaska.
