Over 700 Weird, Fun, and Interesting Facts about all things Alaska

including:

POTATOES USED AS CURRENCY DURING THE KLONDIKE GOLD RUSH

Potatoes were very valuable during the gold rush because they helped prevent scurvy, a disease caused by a lack of vitamin C. Fresh fruits and vegetables were scarce in the Klondike, and potatoes were one of the few vegetables that could be grown locally. Miners would sometimes trade potatoes for other goods or services.

ALASKANS ARE HAPPY

Alaska is one of the happiest places to live in America. Alaskans tend to have a sense of purpose, strong social and community bonds, and live in a place where exercise and physical activity is almost as common as breathing.

ALASKAN MOOSE-BUGGIES

Moose-buggies have giant tires, a roll bar or cage, a crane and a winch. These giant tires can sometimes be 50 inches (127 cm) to keep them from getting stuck in mud bogs. The roll cage is to protect passengers in case the vehicle rolls and you end up upside-down. The crane-and-winch system is what you can use to haul your trophy moose out of the woods and back home to fill yours and your neighbors’ freezers.

I loved it! It's as if we're all visiting over a cup of coffee. The Chapter on the Iditarod Race - it has lots of good detail (e.g., do we dare say, behind the scenes?) I liked that the measurements are both in both "English" and "Metric" and enjoyed the "Fun & Chuckle-Worthy" Chapters at the end of the book.

She loves fun facts and trivia like a sled dog loves the thrill of racing across the frozen tundra and a gold prospector loves striking it rich in the rugged Alaskan wilderness.
