Tom Kizzia’s recent book, Pilgrim’s Wilderness, details the strange (but true) journey of the self-proclaimed Papa Pilgrim, who established his wife and fifteen children in America’s largest national park in south-central Alaska. In this podcast, Kizzia visits with Amy Mount, Yale F&ES ’14, about how the Pilgrims touched off one of the most-visible controversies between environmentalists, government officials and local land-rights advocates in a generation.
