Abstract:This book chronicles the activities of the Alaska Road Commission from its inception in 1905 to its disbanding in 1956, so that Alaska could participate in the Federal Aid Highway Act. Originally part of the War Department and transferred to the US Department of the Interior in 1932, the Federal agency was responsible for the construction of roads in the Alaska Territory for most of the period prior to statehood ranging from winter trails and crude wagon trails in the early years to the Alasks Highway during World War II and a territory-wide system of paved roads in the early 1950s.
