About This Alaska Historical Blog
The purpose of the Copper River Chronicles is to present the reality of everyday Alaskan life. These days, "Reality TV" drives public perceptions of Alaska, and of the Copper Valley. But the actual facts of day-to-day rural Alaska life are far more challenging than anything you see on television. The stories here were researched, recorded and written by Linda Weld of Gakona, Alaska, former 13-year editor of the Copper River Country Journal, 40-year Alaska resident, photographer & writer specializing in rural Alaska life, people, values and culture.
