Alaska Is My Mistress

<p>Jerre Wills was in his late teens when he began feeling something tugging at his shirt-tail and finally pulling with the force of a 300 pound barn-door halibut heading for deep water on the end of a fishing line. Whatever the powerful pull was its 5000 mile beckon brought the young Wills family to Alaska in March of 1959. First it was the homestead; hunting soon followed; commercial fishing an improbable occupation became a passion; and becoming a pilot and flying small bush-planes was justified by guiding big game hunters. All of these adventures gave Jerre an appreciation for Alaska's land sea and air. Alaska's allure became a 55-year love affair with the Greatland. <em>Alaska Is My Mistress </em>is the story of Jerre Wills' non-stop Alaska seduction. </p>
