Synopsis

In 1946 Wayne Short, a young Navy veteran, * from fighting the Japanese in the South Pacific. He was just in time to join his parents and two younger brothers in a momentous move to an isolated island in the Alexander Archipelago of Southeastern Alaska. In The Cheechakoes, an Indian word meaning "newcomer" or "greenhorn", Wayne Short tells of the remarkable true adventures of this American family, who left everything-and lived like pioneers. The Cheechakoes was first published by Random House in the early 1960's-and remains today a perennial favorite of readers who dream of getting away from it all.
