Description
Published in 1922, Where The Sun Swings North is the first novel written by Florence Barrett Willoughby, who many call Alaska’s first official author.
This tale of adventure is a fictionalized account of her family’s real-life experience when stranded on Middleton Island in the Gulf of Alaska for 10 months in 1896-1897 when Willoughby was 10 years old. They may have had few provisions, but they had an intense will to live.
The cast of characters in this story includes a heroine and her Irish husband, a younger lady pure of heart, a drunkard and a diabolical trader who wants the Irishman’s wife for his own. Add to this group the elements of Alaska’s wild land and unpredictable weather and you’ve got a tale of adventure you won’t soon forget.
“It is so true to the country about which it is written that even an Alaskan can read it and enjoy it.” – The Pathfinder, May 1922
Bonus: This book includes a biography about Barrett Willoughby – written by Alaska historian Laurel Downing Bill – highlights the life and times of the author who made a name for herself nationwide during the 1920s-1930s.
