Fortrood. It ras first published in-Septem
ber 1942, and has been reprinted every year
since until 1946.
’The book states on nage 546 "In recent years
the government of the United States has sent
. colonists from this country rho settled in
the Hatanuska Valley in southeastern Alaska*

other means of transportation betreon the
United States and .Alaska the government pro
vided in 1942 for building a road to Alaska,
