Breakaway eBook Walter Yates Reviews
This is an easy read non-fiction book that allows the reader to get a glimpse of survival - through the memories of a child who becomes a man who chases the Alaskan gold fever until his helicopter crashes in the wilderness of British Columbia. It is meat, potatoes and what this country was built upon; the foundation of exploration just like our ancestors did two centuries ago. Really enjoyed it. Russell S. Smith, author of The Gun That Wasn't There [...]
Walter "Yukon" Yates tells the story of his life in this fascinating memoir. From growing up in 1920's Arkansas and Alabama with 6 siblings, to fighting in the South Pacific theater to his gold prospecting days in the Alaska wilderness.
Yates tells a story of a time when a man could work hard and acheive his dreams. LIving off the land, learning survival skills and self reliance, Yates lived the kind of life the rest of us can only dream about.
Highly recommended.
As the Editor of AlaskaTravelMagazine.com, and author of Code Yellow Chrysanthemum, I am very aware that Walter Yates of the movie/video store Breakaway is one of those legends of the North bush pilots I personally knew as Don Sheldon (Wager with the Wind), Bob Reeves (Glacier Pilot), Ron Anderson (Alaskan Called Adventure in the Northland), and Les Risley (of the TV Series Baa Baa Black Sheep), among others whose story has yet to be told.
Walter had been a bit panned by critics in his film for having such a misunderstood strong poetic love of wilderness Alaska -- as did Robert Service-- so I read his book wondering if it would be better than the movie. Surprise. This reincarnation of a phrase that what we call outsiders (those from the lower 48) actually has so much more that building the queen of the quintessential Alaska wilderness cabin, actually explains how an Arkansas child of the mountains, who as 115 pound a seventeen year-old Marine, survived hitting the beach in Guadanalcannel.
Beyond being a fixed wing flyer Walter also survived a Reader's Digest featured helicopter wreck that reads better than any made for reality TV stories of the North. I found it difficult to put his yet-another-Alaska-wilderness- memoir down!.
Barry Murray, a prospector who headed north to adventure in 1978
This has to be one of the luckiest people in the world - or the craziest, but he knows Alaska.
My wife had the pleasure of being Mr. Yates home health nurse at the very end and through her, I was introduced to him. He sent me a copy of his book signed in a weak scrawl and I shall treasure it always. Many of the things he described, she observed in his Breakaway home. Rest in peace, Mr. Yates and may your adventures be just beginning.
Having personal experience of much that is written about here, I must say that Walter tells a grand tale by weaving his own tapestry of life! While some minute details may be less than perfectly accurate, the larger picture is all too true in every respect! This man had a full life, and truly gave it all up to live a dream that became a whole life in and of itself. A perfect case of a man remaking himself into the image that he wanted, woven from the whole cloth of his imagination!!! Read it more than once and more than twice, to get the full measure of what is presented here!!!
Two adjectives come to mind when I hear the name Walter Yates - survivor and adventurer. I first heard of him when my family moved to Georgetown, TX in 1972 and we looked at some property he had for sale. He was meticulously planning to spend a year alone in the Alaskan wilderness. When he went missing in British Columbia, I listened and read news reports from his friend, Cactus Pryor, who refused to give up hope. Pryor was adamant in proclaiming that Yates was a survivor and that he would be alive if they could just find him. Later we were privileged to see his documentary and hear him speak. I recommend this book to anyone who admires rugged individualism and true adventure.
