Overview

"I took my dog for a walk last spring," says Ned Rozell "and we didn't come home until fall." In Walking My Dog, Jane, readers travel along with Ned and Jane, his chocolate Labrador, as they walk 800 miles across Alaska along the trans-Alaska pipeline, beginning in the south at Valdez and ending at Prudhoe Bay on the Arctic Ocean.

"I wanted a few things from this walk," Rozell writes. "I wanted the quiet times, alone with my dog. Maybe to learn something about myself, maybe not. I wanted to find out who lives here, where they came from, why they stay. This trip would be about time. For one summer of my life, I could walk, and I'd never be late."

Overview

"I took my dog for a walk last spring," says Ned Rozell "and we didn't come home until fall." In Walking My Dog, Jane, readers travel along with Ned and Jane, his chocolate Labrador, as they walk 800 miles across Alaska along the trans-Alaska pipeline, beginning in the south at Valdez and ending at Prudhoe Bay on the Arctic Ocean.

"I wanted a few things from this walk," Rozell writes. "I wanted the quiet times, alone with my dog. Maybe to learn something about myself, maybe not. I wanted to find out who lives here, where they came from, why they stay. This trip would be about time. For one summer of my life, I could walk, and I'd never be late."

Rozell describes the extraordinary wildlife and spectacular scenery of Alaska, but perhaps the greatest wonders in this story are the people who live near the pipeline: homesteaders who in the 1960s nearly starved on a diet of grouse and hares while taming their piece of Alaska; a husband and wife recovering from alcohol and drug addictions by running a hamburger stand on the Yukon River; gold miners who stubbornly pick at a hillside above the Arctic Circle with tools a century old; a pipeline worker who commutes 3,000 miles every two weeks to be with his son in San Diego. As Rozell discovers on his 120-day journey, the frontier still exists in Alaska, but it's not the same frontier that stampeders encountered 100 years ago, or the one to which pipeline workers rushed 20 years ago. Instead, it is a spirit found in these people who live there, now, at the end of the century.

About the Author:
Ned Rozell is a science writer at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute. He has lived in Alaska for 13 years, 12 of them accompanied by his chocolate Labrador, Jane. His popular science column, the Alaska Science forum, is published weekly in more than a dozen Alaska newspapers. His work has also appeared in Alaska and Mushing magazines.

Editorial Reviews

Christian Science Monitor
Rozell is in august company. Some of the most respected authors have produced books about long journeys innocent of formal objectives—people like John Steinbeck, Jack Kerouac, William Least Heat-Moon, and Bill Bryson. But Rozell's opus can stand with its tail held high among this body of work.
Heartland Magazine
Part personal adventure, part natural history, part pipeline history, part history of the settlements he passes through, part dog story and part conversations with the people he meets along the way. It is entirely well written and thoughtful.
Publishers Weekly
Here's an adventure tale that, for a change, has nothing to do with human tragedy on Mt. Everest. Walking My Dog, Jane is Alaskan science writer Ned Rozell's account of the summer he spent hiking along the pipeline. Pleasantly understated...Along the way, Rozell gives glimpses into the history, politics, terrain and economy of Alaska and the rugged and quirky people who live there.
Western American Literature
Rozell has managed an entertaining narrative of his great walk, and one that is characterized by a contemplative, unassuming, and inviting literary style.
