The Winter of '79 is the true story of one particular winter season that spanned the gap from 1979 to 1980 with a lot of nasty weather in between. We know about it because Kate, alone on a mountain top with no phone and no one over the age of one to talk to, wrote letters to her mamasan in Hawaii. Her mom kept the letters. Kate also penned a journal. Between the two written sources and more than one hundred original photographs, a person can get a pretty good feel for what an Alaskan winter in an isolated and remote setting can be like.
On top of their remote mountain, Kate and baby Atwood are holding down the fort and keeping the home fires burning, while Tim is commuting to a job in Kenai. His daily trips through woods on an antique snow-machine are inherently dangerous, and he is battling constant sickness. With luck, he will make it home each night.
Suddenly, living in a winter wilderness is not as fun as they had imagined it would be. Will this winter of '79 be the deal breaker to their Jack London and Ralph Waldo Emerson-inspired Transcendental hybrid odyssey?
Graduating Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Hawaii with a major in performing arts (1972), Kate Peters then journeyed to Alaska where she studied art and the Arctic.
In 1975 she joined a culinary crew in construction of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, eloped with a fellow worker, and began an Emerson-inspired adventure that developed into this epic odyssey.
After leaving Alaska in 1988, the retired pioneer ruminated for more than two decades before deciding to create an alter-ego entity to pen her memoir. As Atwood Cutting, Kate has now produced volumes one and two of the Alaskan trilogy.
As Atwood Cutting, Kate Peters hopes she has created a book that provides readers with enough description to experience the hardships of an arctic winter, without actually having to endure one.
Although for a long time Kate would have said that the jury went out and never came back; today—as aging dreamers—Kate and Tim whole-heartedly agree that reaching for the brass ring and following that dream was absolutely worthwhile. They’re glad they did it when they were young and strong, as it required a lot of physical labor.
Today, Kate shares her stories about their modern pioneering adventures as homesteaders on America’s Last Frontier—juat before there were cellphones.
