Neil is the son of a WW2 hero and his grandparents were legal immigrants from Sweden, Ireland, and Switzerland. He found his boyhood heroes in the works of Jack London, Robert Service, Mark Twain, Papillon, John Steinbeck, Earnest Hemingway, Joseph Conrad, Edgar Rice Bur- roughs, James Mitchner, and other adventure writers. Neil was a wild, recalcitrant outlaw in his youth and when he came to Alaska in 1974 and breathed in the essence of the vast, majes- tic, misty, and mysterious inside passage he fell in love with the Great Land from the very start. He knew he had made a change for the better. Alaska was a wilderness where he found the things that appealed to him most: adventure, freedom, danger, treasure, and elbow room.ver menos
