Author Jeff Kunkel Visits Unalaska Public Library

California-based Author Jeff Kunkel visited the Unalaska Public Library the last week in December and read a few excerpts from his book: Alaska Gold: Life on the New Frontier. The book was published in 1997 is a collection of letters written by a pair of brothers who traveled from California to Nome in the early 1900s in search of gold. Jeff told the story of how he came upon these letters and how Unalaska factors into the story.

At the end of the reading, Jeff donated a copy of the book and also his latest children's book, Didn’t We Have Fun!  to the Unalaska Library. For more information, visit JeffKunkel.org.
