JACK de YONGE |
Legendary journalist Jack de Yonge, whose byline appeared in the Fairbanks News-Miner, Seattle Times, and the much-missed Seattle Post-Intelligencer, grew up in Fairbanks, Alaska during the 1930s and 40s. Boom Town Boy: Coming of Age on Alaska's Lost Frontier (Epicenter Press) is set in a tough, hell-raising town in an area where rowdy bars, a flourishing red-light district, gambling, and various other types of behavior frowned upon in 'polite' society were the norm. World War II would change Fairbanks forever, but Jack de Yonge and those of his generation remain to tell the tale. "Jack de Yonge's boyhood memoir starts as a wry, engaging story and quickly becomes a great read. He was a Tom Sawyer on the tundra and his tale is worthy of Mark Twain." - David Horsey, SeattlePI.com.
