Pages : 147
Book Description
"The history of the U.S. Army's contributions to the development of Alaska, from the day of its purchase until the present day, is a story of noble achievement. That the civilian settlement and growth of the Territory was unimpaired by a military form of government is a direct reflection on the forethought and ability of U.S. Army commanders who directed the actions of the Army in the Territory throughout the years. No longer a territory, Alaska has taken its place in the normal activities of the Union as a sovereign state. The Army assisted in the early years of statehood as in the territorial days. It will continue to play an important part in the history of the 49th state"--Foreword.

The Black Soldiers Who Built the Alaska Highway
Author: John Virtue
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476600392
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
This is the first detailed account of the 5,000 black troops who were reluctantly sent north by the United States Army during World War II to help build the Alaska Highway and install the companion Canol pipeline. Theirs were the first black regiments deployed outside the lower 48 states during the war. The enlisted men, most of them from the South, faced racial discrimination from white officers, were barred from entering any towns for fear they would procreate a "mongrel" race with local women, and endured winter conditions they had never experienced before. Despite this, they won praise for their dedication and their work. Congress in 2005 said that the wartime service of the four regiments covered here contributed to the eventual desegregation of the Armed Forces.
