Ever wonder why outhouses are marked with a crescent moon or how you survive a visit to an outhouse at 40 below? What do you do when you find yourself sharing an outhouse with a bear? The answers to questions you might not even know you wanted to ask can be found in Outhouses of Alaska, a whimsical look at this often over-looked aspect of Alaska life. Combining quirky stories, eccentric characters, and more than 100 photos, Walker takes you on a journey from a glacier in the Alaska Range to the banks of the Yukon River in search of the quintessential Alaska outhouse.
Harry M. Walker had never seen an outhouse before coming to Alaska in 1975 to canoe the Yukon River. Harry now lives in Anchorage with his wife, Sally. For nearly 40 years he has roamed the world with his camera.
