Wild Alaska: Bow & Bear Quest 1926

This 1926 silent film, Alaskan Adventures, follows Captain Jack Robertson and Arthur Young, the world’s bow-and-arrow champion, on a thrilling Alaskan odyssey. Armed with only a bow, they hunt sheep and moose amid ice breaking up on rivers and towering icebergs. The camera captures dense bird colonies nesting on cliffs, a line tracing Mt. Katmai’s pre-1912 height, and the smoky Katmai Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes. Salmon swarm upstream as Kodiak bears fish, culminating in a daring bear hunt in Alaska’s untamed wilds.
