Kings of the Yukon: An Alaskan River Journey in Search of the Chinook is a non-fiction work by British author Adam Weymouth, first published in 2018. The narrative chronicles Weymouth's four-month canoe expedition along the nearly 2,000-mile Yukon River, from Canada through Alaska to the Bering Sea. His journey mirrors the annual migration of the king salmon, a species vital to the region's ecology and deeply woven into the cultural heritage of its indigenous communities. Kings of the Yukon has garnered critical acclaim for its evocative prose and insightful commentary. It was awarded the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award in 2018 and named Lonely Planet Adventure Travel Book of the Year in 2019.
