About this product

Product Information

In the 1970s, the world's largest construction companies invaded Alaska in a wild rush to build the 800-mile $8 billion trans-Alaska pipeline. Workers by the tens of thousands headed north, hoping to make their fortunes working on the pipeline, in a stampede that dramatically affected Alaska. With the avalanche of big money and new arrivals came new problems: drugs, prostitution, gambling, and violent crime. Rapid economic and social changes ultimately touched the lives of virtually every Alaskan. Journalist Dermot Cole, dean of the Alaska press corps, recalls the best of the pipeline stories with humor, authenticity, and drama.

The life and times of a Pipeliner!
This is a good read and an interesting look into what happens on the pipeline. The diversity of people and life situations that these big projects bring is amazing. You have have all education levels, experience levels, and ambition levels. The stories in this book give you a glance at some of what you could expect to run into on a pipeline. -Will
