Pilgrim's Wilderness: A True Story of Faith and Madness on the Alaska Frontier - Best Price
Review : Interesting and suspenseful read
This book blindsided me! I thought I was going to be reading an adventure story, with a man and his family's fight against the government and the brutal Alaskan land. Instead, it was the story of a beautiful, innocent family and the perverted, cruel, evil tyrant who ruled them. They said he was fundamentalist Christian, but he was not. He was a monster, who claimed whatever he wanted out of the Bible, while constantly doing things it says not to do. And he ruled his wife and 15 children with one of the most evil iron hands I have ever heard of. His wife had no more power than any of his children.
He put on a brilliant, glorious show for people, as did the whole family. The family were wonderful to get to know, especially Joshua, Joseph and Elishaba. I don't know how in the world all these children turned out to be such beautiful, good people as they did.
The story is very exciting, and the book is wonderfully written and hard to put down. Parts of it...

When Papa Pilgrim appeared in the Alaska frontier outpost of McCarthy with his wife and fifteen children in tow, his new neighbors had little idea of the trouble to come. The Pilgrim Family presented themselves as a shining example of the homespun Christian ideal, with their proud piety and beautiful old-timey music, but their true story ran dark and deep. Within weeks, Papa had bulldozed a road through the mountains to the new family home at an abandoned copper mine, sparking a tense confrontation with the National...
