Two Dianas in Alaska

In the first decade of the 20th century, Agnes Herbert (1880-1960) and her cousin Cecily hunted on three continents, and Herbert wrote a book about each excursion. This, her second, traces the story of the women's Alaskan hunt, undertaken in part with the two men whom Agnes and Cecily had already out-hunted in Africa. The foursome formed two expeditions, sometimes setting up camp together and sometimes going their own ways. The women's trophies included brown bear, walrus, caribou, Dall sheep and moose; and Cecily bagged herself a husband, as well. Written with verve and forthrightness, Herbert's is a tale of adventure barely imaginable for women of her time.Herbert, Agnes is the author of 'Two Dianas in Alaska', published 2004 under ISBN 9780811731317 and ISBN 0811731316.
