A national park for salmon - Afognak Island in 1892

摘要

Hedgehog mushrooms grow hunkered in clusters throughout the spruce forests of Afognak Island, north of Kodiak within the Gulf of Alaska. This fall, I tromped through thick moss to harvest these tasty fungi. It's the abundance of Afognak's forest thatalways beckons me back, but for many, including a visitor named Livingston Stone, who came in the 19th century, it's the salmon that make this place special.
