My Life with the Eskimo
by Vilhjalmur Stefansson
Referenced during a discussion about subsistence hunting and sheep in Alaska. Cal mentions this book when someone expresses surprise about the connection between subsistence and sheep hunting, noting that Stephenson's book describes Native Alaskans in the Brooks Range who lived off sheep and wore all white clothing.

Journal of a Trapper
by Osborne Russell
Referenced in the same conversation about historical sheep hunting. When discussing 'My Life with the Eskimo,' someone asks 'Have you ever read Osborne Russell's Journal of a Trapper?' in the context of comparing mountain sheep (bighorn) hunting practices, noting that Russell wrote about hunting bighorns for food in the mountains.
