The Alaska Highway early years
Building the trail that became the Alcan - 1942
Civilian travel during the early years - 1943
Alaska Highway, Kilometer 1639, Feb. 26, 2013
As I’ve mentioned before, the Alaska Highway 75th Anniversary CD is now available and
there is some good music on it, some good writing, good musicianship and good
recording. Bert Goulet even made me sound authoritative.
There is a promo at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTt25BOVaqs
Here are some more videos about the
building of the highway with some great views of the cable control
Caterpillars, gallons of mud and gumbo (no, it isn’t the same as mud; walk in
it for one minute and you’ll know the difference.) a look at some US Army
Engineers and the civilian contractors.
