Beschreibung

When Penelope Easton, a young, vigorous, sensible WWII veteran with a Masters in Public Health Nutrition, embarked on a journey to Territorial Alaska to serve as the dietary consultant for the Alaskan Health Department, she could not anticipate the deplorable health-related conditions that she would find. Learning to Like Muktuk draws on her detailed field reports, photographs, letters, and other documents.

Portrait

As a child of the Great Depression, Penelope S. Easton learned to ""make do"" with what she had and developed a spirit of adventure that was essential in preparing her for work in Territorial Alaska. The epilogue of the book describes her returns to Alaska as a member of research teams from 1996 through 2005. She now resides in Durham, North Carolina. At the age of ninety-one, Learning to Like Muktuk is her first book.
