Now It Can Be Told: Stories of Alaskan Pioneer Ranchers by Wanda FieldsJoin me on a journey back in time to the rugged and untamed wilderness of Alaska, where brave men and women carved out a life for themselves as pioneer ranchers. In my new book, “Now It Can Be Told,” I share the incredible stories of these resilient individuals who faced countless challenges and hardships to build a life on the frontier.
From battling harsh weather conditions and wild animals to navigating the complexities of homesteading laws, these pioneer ranchers truly embodied the spirit of perseverance and determination. Through their stories, we gain a deeper understanding of the sacrifices they made and the triumphs they celebrated as they worked tirelessly to establish their homesteads.
As a lifelong Alaskan resident and amateur historian, I have had the privilege of interviewing descendants of these pioneer ranchers and exploring their family archives to piece together a comprehensive narrative of this fascinating era. I am excited to finally share these stories with the world and shed light on a lesser-known aspect of Alaskan history.
So grab a cup of coffee, cozy up by the fire, and prepare to be transported back in time to the rugged and unforgiving landscape of Alaska. “Now It Can Be Told” is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Alaskan pioneer ranchers and a tribute to their enduring legacy.

By understanding and respecting the role of fire in the natural world, we can work towards a more sustainable and resilient future for our land and our communities.

As a Texas rancher, I have seen my fair share of wildfires sweep through our land. Some fires bring destruction and devastation, leaving a trail of charred earth and lost livestock in their wake. These fires are what I like to call “bad smoke.” They are a force of nature that can’t be controlled, leaving us feeling helpless in their path.But then there are the fires that bring renewal and growth, the fires that clear out the old and make way for the new. These fires are what I like to call “good smoke.” They rejuvenate the land, creating fertile ground for new grass to grow and providing fresh grazing opportunities for our cattle.
In the American West, wildfires are a part of life. They can be both friend and foe, depending on their nature and intensity. As ranchers, we must learn to adapt and work with the land, understanding that fire is a natural part of the ecosystem.
While the sight of smoke on the horizon may bring fear and uncertainty, I have come to appreciate the role that wildfires play in shaping our landscape. They remind us of the power of nature and the resilience of the land. And as long as we continue to respect and steward our land, we can find a balance between the bad smoke and the good smoke that shapes our lives as Texas ranchers.
