Synopsis
Alaska has always attracted people from varied backgrounds. In "A Place of Belonging," Phyllis Movius introduces us to five women who settled in Fairbanks between 1903 and 1923 and who typify the disparate population that has long enriched Alaska. The women s daily lives and personal stories are woven together in these biographical portraits, drawn from the women s letters, memoirs, personal papers, club records, their own oral histories and published writings. Enriched by many never-before-published historical photos, Movius s research gives us a unique inroad into life on the frontier.", Alaska has always attracted people from varied backgrounds.

    Book arrived quickly and in described condition. Packaging was just a waterproof mailer that arrived already open on one end, but the book suffered no damage from exposure. Likely, it was caused during the shipping process. The price was incredibly fair for the condition, and shipping was free. It cost far less than ordering it through their company website. Would absolutely buy from them again.

    The book is in like new condition; better than described. It was packaged securely in a bubblewrap envelope, not merely a plastic bag. The book was listed for a fantastic price, too. Thank you, HPB-Emerald, for another perfect transaction from a truly excellent Seller!
