Alan Fry grew up on a bush ranch in central British Columbia and spent years in various northern outposts. While writing the original edition of this book, he lived year-round in a tepee outside Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory. Now he divides his time between a house in Whitehorse and a log retreat that he built himself near Lake Laberge, where the tepee frame still stands.
