From the formation of a formidable landscape to the struggles of those determined to make it their home, James A. Michener tells the story of Alaska on an epic scale. Across generations, the novel follows lives shaped by isolation, opportunity and the demands of survival. The American acquisition, the gold rush, the expansion of the salmon industry and the wartime construction of the Alcan Highway become turning points in a much larger human drama. Rich in historical detail, Alaska explores the ambitions and conflicts that accompany settlement and development in a land of extraordinary resources. Michener brings together individual destinies and momentous events in a portrait of a frontier continually transformed by its people.
