ABOUT THE AUTHOR: James (Al) Johnson literally stumbled over an apple box full of George Carmack's letters in the loft of a used bookstore. His amazing discovery inspired Johnson to take writing courses while conducting further reseach on Carmack. Thirty years later he published his first book. Johnson, who turns ninty-five this year, lives in Everett, Washington.
