About the Author

Stan Zuray, a resilient adventurer born in the gritty streets of Boston, transformed from a rebellious greaser into a pioneering Alaskan homesteader through sheer determination and an unyielding spirit for the wild. Leaving behind urban chaos in the 1970s, he ventured into the unforgiving Yukon River region, building a life of self-reliance amid harsh winters and untamed wilderness. With his son-in-law Tim Menger, Stan shares his gripping odyssey in 'Carry On: Stan Zuray's Journey from Boston Greaser to Alaskan Homesteader,' a memoir that chronicles decades of trapping, survival challenges, and profound lessons in perseverance. Today, at over 70, Stan continues to embody the essence of frontier living, inspiring readers with tales of grit, ingenuity, and harmony with nature.
