Building the Alaska Highway

Strain, Tracy Heather. (Added Author). Morton, Joe, 1947- (Added Author).

Summary: In May 1942, across the sub-Arctic wilderness of Alaska, northern British Columbia, and Yukon Territory, thousands of American soldiers began one of the biggest and most difficult construction projects ever undertaken. This program tells how for eight months - at a time when the American military operated under forced segregation - young solders battled mud, muskeg, and mosquitoes; endured ice, snow and bitter cold; bridged raging rivers, graded lofty peaks, and cut pathways through primeval forests to push a 1,520-mile road across one of the world's harshest landscapes.
