Ice Bound Empire: Industry and Politics on the Last Frontier, 1898-1938 Book

If you read HAZELET'S JOURNAL, ICEBOUND EMPIRE tells the rest of George Cheever Hazelet's story along with two other gritty characters, Stephen Birch and David Jarvis. Also, if you want to learn more about the development of early Alaska railroads, Elizabeth Tower's book is an interesting read. Old Stone Press has added new content, maps and photographs to this "Special" third edition. The discovery of a hand written letter by George Hazelet to Catherine Wilson, a nomadic chronicler of events in early Alaska territory at the turn of the twentieth century and publisher of "Copper Tints," gives us an encompassing and refreshing first-hand account of the early railway development in what is still know as the "Last American Frontier."
