He was then recruited by the discoverer, Atlantic Richfield, to deal with the onslaught of writers and editors who feared oil would ruin Alaska and desecrate its unmatched wilderness.In that role he traveled throughout the North Country in vehicles ranging from Lear Jets to snowmobiles. He witnessed much of the real turmoil that resulted from the discovery and the wrenching changes it brought to the people of Alaska, their leaders and the men and women who work to keep them safe.
