Acerca de este título
Anchorage is more than Alaska’s largest city—it’s a living chronicle of resilience, reinvention, and cultural convergence. In this immersive 10-chapter narrative, Derek Monaghan traces Anchorage’s evolution from ancient Dena’ina homelands to a modern hub shaped by railroads, war, oil, and global commerce.
This nonfiction journey explores:
- Indigenous lifeways and Russian missions
- The gold rush and birth of a railroad town
- New Deal agricultural experiments in the Matanuska Valley
- Military expansion during WWII and Cold War tensions
- The devastating 1964 earthquake and Anchorage’s rebirth
- The oil boom’s economic transformation
- Today’s Anchorage—a city of diversity, innovation, and enduring legacy
Rich in historical nuance and emotional resonance, A Brief History of Anchorage honors the people, forces, and landscapes that shaped a city at the edge of the world. Whether you're a curious traveler, lifelong Alaskan, or student of American history, this book offers a vivid, accessible portrait of a city that continues to adapt, inspire, and endure.
