NEW YORK—World War news
stole the headlines and only a
handful of people took note of the
vast building project going on in
the then Territory of Alaska.
Among the many thousands of
men employed in cutting an over
land route from the U. S. through
be frozen tundra to the north was
George Atwood, now a resident of
Anoka, Minnesota
In his new book, '‘Along the
Afcan,” due for publication April
8, Mr. Atwood eloquently recalls
his fascinating adventures as a
member of that construction gyg ,
Told in a down-to-earth, diary4ike
fashion, “Along the Alcan" cap
tures the spirit not only of the
men working against time and
nature but of the spectacular
scenery with its snow - capped
peaks, glacier fields, lakes and
rivers, animals and vegetation. It
is indeed a panoramic view of the
beautiful ami moving scene that
has been the subject for many an
artist's work.
George Atwood, a native of
Kanopolis, Kansas, lived in Ver
mont for a short while before
moving on to Minnesota at the
age of twenty. His work as a gen
eral contractor has taken him not
only to Alaska and Canada but to
aU parts of the United States and
Mexico. He is a member of the
Living Wilderness Society, the
National Audubon Society and The
American Nature Association.
