The Alaska Highway links Dawson Creek, British Columbia, with Fairbanks, Alaska, and stretches 1,500 miles through some of the most rugged and isolated terrain in North America. This exciting collection of photographs presents the story of the planning, construction, and maintenance of the highway. The collection also considers the impact of the highway on the landscape and the First Nations people along the route, and its influence on the North.

This review is from: The Alaska Highway (Paperback)
I bought this book for my father to read before he got to drive the Alaskan Highway back to the USA... This was always his dream to do and I wanted him to have as much information as possible!!
