Sinopsis

Anchorage depicts the 20th-century development of Alaska's largest city from its origins as a place for the Dena'ina people to hunt and fish to its status as a railroad camp and then a modern community.

Much of Anchorage's 20th-century history was shaped by the construction of the Alaska Railroad and then the presence of the nation's military. The rapidly growing town experienced North America's largest recorded earthquake in 1964, but residents rebuilt, and the city experienced an oil and construction boom over the following two decades. By the end of the 20th century, Anchorage had trembled and shook, boomed and busted, and had come out on the other side as one of the most diverse and dynamic American cities.

Ian C. Hartman is a board member of the Cook Inlet Historical Society and professor in the Department of History at the University of Alaska Anchorage. Most of the images of this book have been collected from the Anchorage Museum.
