About the Author
Alaskan author and artist Doug Myers was raised in Oregon and while living in Washington served as a licensed counseling therapist. He later became an owner of a remote fishing lodge located on a designated 'wild and scenic' river in the Bristol Bay Region of Southwest Alaska. Visits with Native friends at their historic village site and other distant areas offered cultural insights. Wilderness adventure treks for sport-fishing and encounters with Alaska's renowned wildlife were extended to the Bering Sea, Alaska Peninsula, and Kodiak Island. Alaska's Kenai Peninsula also provided pleasure to his arm as a sport fisherman and inspiration to his eye as an author and artist.Myers, renewal comes in the For wilderness of Alaska with a fly-fishing rod in hand and a camera in his backpack . . . hundreds of memories feed his spirit and connect him to the wild and scenic land that is his home. (Linda Bryant, Columnist, The Art of Peace, The Herald) |

Colonel Norman D. Vaughan - Antarctic Explorer with Admiral ByrdP Throughout my life I have known an enthusiam for risk and a satisfaction from each adventure accomplishment. In PURSUING THE UNTAMED many of the experiences the author Doug Myers writes about reminds me of my own adventures. . . . Accounts of the salmon's spawning ritual and encounters with brown bears are interestingly informative. . . . the book offers a good understanding of instincts specific to Alaska's wildlife. . . . Doug effectively humanizes the wild creatures and events in order to illustrate the essentials in living a fulfilled life. I recommend the reading of PURSUING THE UNTAMED to all who appreciate a sensitive, thoughtful understanding of Alaska's wilderness, its Native people and culture, and wildlife. __Norman D. Vaughan
