An illlustrated history of the largest metropolis in Alaska, its changes in character and growth over the last century. Gold exploration, railroad boom and bust, military occupation, air age discovery, oil fever, earthquakes, and finally massive oil wealth all figure into transforming this relatively recent wilderness site into a jewel of a city. Anchorage is celebrating over 300 years of rich history.
