About this product

Product Information

Crooked Road tells the tale of how the Alaska Highway was built during World War II. David Remley chronicles how Americans and Canadians mapped and built the highway under the 1942 authorization of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who ordered its construction for the joint defense of the United States and Canada. Crooked Road draws upon archival images and oral histories from those who lived in the prior unpaved wilderness and those who regularly drive on the highway today, and ultimately offers a fascinating historical account of the expansion of the American landscape.

Reviews
Remley assesses the trouble converting the North into 'a place of industrial profit and progress' even though it perpetuates the exploitative intentions of those who came far earlier to open the area. First Nations groups experienced the most painful transition. . . . Remley eloquently elaborates how history is more than the dead. Where the highway gives access to an area of surviving material culture of past life, a religious awe can be experienced, as Remley has known during several revisits.
