Kendlers: The Story of a Pioneer Alaska Juneau Dairy

Kendlers: The Story of a Pioneer Alaska Juneau Dairy by Kendler, Mathilde. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780882402550.

"The nicest strawberry ice cream you ever lapped a lip to." That was just one of the treats at the Kendlers Alaska Dairy. Bob Henning, president of Alaska Northwest Publishing Company, offers that and a bit more on this book. "It is difficult to maintain proper perspective as a publisher when the copy deals with old friends and your hometown....." But his perspective is the reality of this story, and it helps bring to life a half-century of life in Alaska. It was the 1920s when Mathilde Sauermann Kendler left Germany for America, and his is her story- of her life, her dairy and her love affair with Alaska. Its a story as rich and wonderful as the strawberry ice cream the Kindlers used to serve back in the thirties!
