(Excerpts from the Foreword inside the book) Exceptionally skilled people seldom advertise their special abilities. Harold is a modest person. The praise set forth here, well-deserved, every word of it, will make this Alaska Master Guide uncomfortable, although all of it is not only true, but reserved. Alaska Safari is a reflection of the writer's knowledge and experience. It includes not only valuable information for the hunter who intends to seek a guide on the Last Frontier, but also a reservoir of important data for unguided non-resident as well as resident Alaska outdoorsmen. The book includes the beginnings of hunting and guiding in the Great Land, inside information on choosing a guide, hunting methods, firearms, equipment, survival, and record book forms (both Safari Club International and Boone & Crockett rulings.) Harold's book is a valuable source of information to sourdough as well as beginner. It's an expert work accomplished by an expert sportsman and guide.
