Learning the Ropes: An Alaskan Memoir
By Mike Gordon
Mike’s story is the Last Frontier’s entertaining version of the Odyssey. Mike created and operated one of the most successful nightclub saloons in the world, Chilkoot Charlie’s.
Opening in 1970 and for the next 45 years before retiring, Mike went through the cash rich Alaska Pipeline years, boom and bust economies, fought the Hell’s Angels, drugs and personal demons, climbed the seven tallest mountains in seven continents, went back to college after 48 years away from it to get his B.A. and M.A. But wait, there’s more!
