Tall Tales of an Alaska State Trooper

In 1959, Robert J. Robertson moved his growing family from Spokane to Alaska for the promise of adventure and profit in a family construction business. When plans fell through, he joined the newly-formed Alaska State Troopers, first as a dispatcher and then as a uniformed Trooper. This book records his adventures and mishaps, or "Tall Tales," in the wry, sardonic voice befitting a reluctant law enforcement officer on the Last Frontier.
