The True Adventures of an Alaska Sourdough in the Greatest Big-Game Country on Earth, the Upper Yukon.

Major Nevill Armstrong was the first civilized man to set foot in the Macmillan River wilderness on the Upper Yukon. On a prospecting trip there in 1905 with another sourdough during a 16-month prospecting trip turned survival ordeal, fell in love with that brutal country 300 miles from the nearest post.*

Fast forward 10 years Nevill Armstrong returns with a few other sportsmen to reap the reward of his previous scouting adventures. On a hunting trip in 1914 he found that the riches of this country were not in gold, they were in the amazing quality of the big game in this vast wilderness area.

No white man had visited this district prior to the author’s appearance there. Even the natives weren't aware of the large sheep herds in the high peaks near the divide. And the abundance of Caribou, Moose, and Grizzly kept Armstrong coming back for more.

Containing the records of three trips after big game in the far away country of the Macmillan River, its tributaries and mountain ranges in the Upper Yukon, After Big Game on the Upper Yukon is a record of adventures—the thrill of the chase and the drama of sudden crises—set in the finest sporting country of its kind left on earth, a land of immense wilds enjoying a glorious climate and abundant with game, birds, and fish.
