In the fifth installment of The Northern Narratives series, Tall Tales of Alaska Ketchikan AK: A City Built on Salmon, Timber & Totem Poles drops anchor in Southeast Alaska's rainiest, fishiest, and foggiest frontier town. It's Alaska's first city-first to greet you, first to drench you, and first to prove that truth is often stranger than fiction.
Nestled at the southern entrance to the Inside Passage, Ketchikan is more than just a stop on the milk run. And in these pages, you'll wade past the pilings the town is built on pilings and explore how the timber wars divided its neighborhoods, why a fish pirate might have been the most respected criminal its docks, and what really goes on along Married Man's Trail. From floating logging camps to phantom submarines, Ketchikan has always harbored a story or two-some foggier than others.
The stories are history, yes. But you don't need to be a researcher to revel in this town's past. This collection is for the curious, the adventurous, and anyone who's ever wondered what lies beneath the mist.
So, grab your raincoat and your imagination, and set foot into a town where the salmon run thick, the secrets run deeper, and the stories never run dry. You'll read all about it in Tall Tales of Alaska Ketchikan AK: A City Built on Salmon, Timber & Totem Poles.
Read about:
- Ketchikan's role in the Salmon and Timber Wars
- The truth behind the Road to Nowhere
- The legendary fish pirates of Southeast Alaska
- Rumors of secret submarine activity near the docks
