![]() ![]() “Any of us who’ve watched daughters grow up to be strong and capable in the backcountry will delight in this book-it’s a wonderful new world in many ways!” -Bill McKibben, activist author of “The End of Nature” and “Wandering Home.” James Campbell’s best-sellling book about his over-the-top version of father-daughter bonding is the memoir-biography: “Braving It: A Father, A Daughter, And An Unforgettable Journey Into the Alaskan Wild.” They lived off the land. Hauled logs. Cooked caribou. There James’ first cousin Heimo was building a new cabin for winter near the headwaters of the Hulahula River. ![]() ![]() Wisconsin-based writer and adventurer James Campbell has sailed with Micronesia’s star navigators and trekked across Papua New Guinea, but the journey he took with his 15-year-old daughter involved grizzlies and brushes with bone-numbing cold in the deep wilderness 130 miles above the Arctic Circle in the foothills of Alaska’s Brooks Range. Last summer, father and daughter James and Aiden Campbell took a little trip together – but it is not one that would show up on Trip Advisor. The talk takes place Wednesday, June 29, 6:30 p.m. Telluride’s Between the Covers Bookstore and the Wilkinson Public Library feature the Campbells, James and Aiden, at a free author event in support of James Campbell’s “Braving It: A Father, A Daughter, And An Unforgettable Journey Into the Alaskan Wild” (May 2016). ![]()
