"Although hitch-hiking is actually impossible on the Alaska Military Highway, Mrs. Baskine, an intrepid globe-trotter, made her way up the whole length of that famous Highway by means of any conveyance on which she could commandeer a ride, including trucks, jeeps, horses and planes. Armed with a hard-to-get Military Permit, the necessary credentials and a bona fide purpose, she set out from Dawson Creek while the Highway was still under construction and travelled mile after hazardous mile to Fairbanks, Alaska, the end of the road. While she seldom knew from one morning to the next where she would eat or sleep, Mrs. Baskine declares that nowhere on earth could she have felt safer, or met with greater courtesy, kindness and generosity. Her light-hearted and graphic account of this unorthodox expedition gives a humanly intimate picture of a colossal undertaking, and introduces a cross-section of those benevolent giants of construction-men who built that vital road through muskeg, over rivers and round mountains in record time. *Hitch-Hiking the Alaska Highway* is a remarkably vivid and comprehensive description of how it was accomplished..." - Hitch-hiking the Alaska Highway - Gertrude Baskine Published 1946, The Macmillan Company of Canada, Ltd. Hardcover. Approx. 5.5x8.5in. 317pp. In decent vintage condition.
