About This Item
New York: Charles Scribner's 1943, 1st edition. (4to) 156pp. Good to very good in good dust jacket. Illustrated paper covered boards. Photographs, index, map endpapers. Edges worn, edgewear to dust jacket. "Why has Alaska suddenly assumed such tremendous importance in the war? Before 1940 Alaska was the 'forgotten land.' Little was known about her and much of that was incorrect. There were many who laughed when General Billy Mitchell called Alaska 'the most central place in the world for aircraft and the most important place in the world.' Now most of us know that Alaska matters. Why she matters, what is going on there, and what her people are like, is told in this authoritative book which will interest both young people and adults". Photography by Frederick Machetanz. Map illustration by Raymond Lufkin. Jacket design by Raymond Lufkin. Foreword by Vilhjalmur Stefansson & Vilhjalmur Stefansson. Locale: Alaska. (Travel, Inuit, World War 2).
