These pioneer drivers never conquered or tamed Alaska’s roads and weather, but they learned to operate on the back trails and paths--always making their way to the trip’s end. In spite of all the challenges, they never quit. The following from Teddy Roosevelt is an appropriate salute to Alaskan truckers: “”It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a… Read More

Without the many pioneering spirits who render the Alaska landscape into a vast playground in hopes of transcending but a fleeting whisper of a dream, there would neither be mention of home to temper a newfound flame, nor an air of perspective, to share the journey. The people who breathe the invisible elixir of winter, the spirits who are as the snowbird, and those who would journey to this faraway land to experience a forgotten way of life, the harvest of breathtaking beauty and rugged subtlety. I offer the holder of this book a means to extend a laugh, to a close friend, and am grateful for the joy that may ensue.

Like New/Like New. “Pulitzer-winning journalist Strohmeyer (Crisis in Bethlehem, 1986) examines in relentless, devastating detail the wealth of miseries brought to Alaska with the 1967 discovery of oil deposits at Prudhoe Bay. In chronicling oil exploration in the region from post-WW II prestatehood days onward, a number of key figures emerge--from gung-ho state boosters to field engineers whose optimistic prognostications were finally justified, and on to the Native American activists whose vigilance enabled their people to gain a sizable share of the bounty through leases of their land. With the first big strikes came a variety of turf battles, such as a lengthy dispute over the construction of an 800-mile pipeline from the oil fields, or one over the right to dispense enormous state revenues garnered from the crude once it began to flow. Swindles abounded as politicians and businessmen vied for a piece of… Read More
