About This Item
Missoula, Montana, Usa: Pictorial Histories Publishing Co., 2003. 8th Printing. Soft cover. Very Good. In Very Good Condition. No Notes, Names or Markings. Minor Wear/Tear To Edges and/or Turned Corners. - For More Information On Condition. Please See All Photos. A Pictorial Look At The Alaska Pipeline. It's not surprising that Alaska is the site of some of the most ambitious construction projects in history. The Alaska Highway, the largest such under- taking of World War II except for the Atomic Bomb, connected the region to the rest of the nation. The Alaska Railroad, built in the late 1910s and early 1920s, proved that imagination and engineering savvy could overcome a hostile climate. These enterprises- along with the Canol Pipeline, which funneled oil in the 1940s from the remote Canadian Northwest Territories to Whitehorse in the Yukon-made it logistically possible, and gave engineers the confidence to complete the largest private construction project in the world the trans Alaska pipeline. Stretching 800 miles from Prud hoe Bay to Valdez through some of the fiercest terrain on the planet, the puseline is a masterpiece of human perseverance. Eight billion dollars and four years later.
