Agl4now- James Campbell would probably be the best writer to work with your story. He wrote Final Frontiersman and Braving It. Both are written extremely well. Tom Kizia is another good writer but he seems to just write about McCarthy.

Unidentified bear hunter on Kodiak Island in the early 1950s. If that ain't Jim Rearden it ought to be. The picture is a metaphor for the virtuosity of Jim Rearden's life. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/234324.jpg) I believe that last picture is of Joe Want. Another guide that should write a book. If it’s correct that it’s early 50’s I don’t think it would be as he was born in ‘43 and started in Kodiak in the late 50’s/early 60s? Maybe picture was labeled incorrectly; late 50’s? Does bear a resemblance.

Nope. Art you should know Chuck Wirscheim. He was the GOAT of all time big ram hunters.

Jim was a friend. He was a field editor for Alaska Magazine the 5 years I was the editor.
“Castner’s Cutthoats” and “Koga’s Zero” are worth finding if you like WWII history.
Likes lefty rifles. Guntalk in web searches.

ALASKA is a "HARD COUNTRY for OLDMEN". (But if you live it wide'ass open, balls'to the wall, the pedal floored, full throttle, it is a delightful place, to finally just sit-back and savor those memories while sipping Tequila).
