Donald MacDonald II
“The Father of the Alaska Highway”
For Territorial Engineer
(Appointed by President Roosevelt as member of the Interna
tional Highway Association)
THE MAN WHO UNDER HIS OWN STEAM HAS STUDIED ON
THE GROUND, MAPPED AND FOUGHT FOR IN THE POLITICAL
FIELD:
The Alaska Highway, the Tok Cut-Off, the Glenn Highway, the
Fortymile Road, the Haines Road (totaling 2,000 miles) UNTIL
THEY WERE BUILT
OFFICIALLY—He located McKinley Park Roads, the Steese
Highway, Final Anchorage-Palmer Road, the Nabesna Road
and Others.
SPECIFICALLY-He advocates construction of the COASTAL
ROUTE to the STATES, (Removing the 1000-mile detour that
blocks the world's most automotive-minded people—the 10 mil
lions of the Pacific Coast) and serving SE Alaska.
Advocates also cooperation with the Navy in construction to
oil fields, opening the great KOYUKUK MINERAL AREA and
the construction down the Yukon to the Seward Peninsula and
Nome.
MacDONALD envisioned in 1929 a backbone system to connect
the isolated roads of the North; a system that has already tied
in the main existing roads and can logically be expanded until
all the mainland cities, mining camps and farm areas can be
reached by car.
Efficient land transport to and within the Territory is the KEY
both of Strategy and Development.
If the people wish to realize this vision, suport the man who
conceived it and can, on his record, make it come to pass.
