Arctic Homestead: The True Story Of One Family's Survival And Courage In The Alaskan Wilds by Norma Cobb and Charles W. Sasser

This is the inspirational story of Les and Norma Cobb, who along with their 5 children, left the lower 48 to carve out a homestead in the wilds of Alaska near the Arctic Circle.  They endured many hardships and setbacks along the way, encounters with bears, Sasquatch/the Bushman, and crazy neighbors ... and that's only the beginning!  I read this book a few years ago and am currently re-reading it for some much needed inspiration and motivation. 

Norma Cobb is the last woman to have signed up under the U.S. Homestead Act and, along with her family, prove out her claim.
