Interior Sketches III: More ramblings around Interior Alaska historic sites (Interior Sketches, Ramblings around Interior Alaska historic sites) - 6134

Take an artistic tour of Eastern Interior Alaska historic sites Join Fairbanks artist and writer, Ray Bonnell, in the third book of his Interior Sketches series as he visits additional historic sites. Explore locations like World War II-era Ladd Field in Fairbanks, and a 1910-era roadhouse and telegraph station at McCallum Creek along the Richardson Highway; and revisit the historic 1915 Tanana Chiefs Conference held in Fairbanks. For almost 40 years Ray has tramped the roads and trails of Eastern Interior Alaska, searching out old mining camps, roadhouses, homesteads, villages, and other historic locations. Through his historical essays and detailed pen-&-ink drawings he takes “snapshots in time” of these historic sites before time, development and vandalism erase them from the landscape. His first two Interior Sketches books each showcased 60 historic sites. In this third book: 70 more sites are featured. Each entry includes an essay and a reproduction of one of Ray’s pen-&-ink drawings. Sites included were selected from Ray’s award-winning newspaper column, Sketches of Alaska. All of the sites are on or near the road system, so you can drive or walk to most of them. A hand-drawn map of Eastern Interior Alaska showing the general location of sites is reproduced in the book.
