Alaska Highway is a 1943 American film directed by Frank McDonald.
Synopsis
In February 1942 a road construction gang working in Northern California are summoned to a meeting. The boss of the gang has been commissioned as a Major in the US Army Corps of Engineers and signs up the entire crew with his two sons gaining direct entry as Technical Sergeants to build the Alcan Highway. One of the brothers wishes to enlist in the US Marine Corps to fight the Japanese rather than build another road. He changes his mind when he meets the daughter of one of the heads of the project with the two brothers fighting over her as they build the highway. Their feud is forgotten when the Japanese invade Kiska.
Plot
The film begins with the attack on Pearl Harbor. Alaska at the time was weakly defended. Canada had already built the northwest staging route; a series of airfields spread across northwestern Canada.
The decision is made to build a highway to Alaska. The workers are divided into three starting camps, Fort Nelson, B.C., Skagway, Alaska, and Valdez, Alaska.
The Alaska Highway (also known as the Alaskan Highway, Alaska-Canadian Highway, or ALCAN Highway) was constructed during World War II for the purpose of connecting the contiguous United States to Alaska through Canada. It begins at the junction with several Canadian highways in Dawson Creek, British Columbia, and runs to Delta Junction, Alaska, via Whitehorse, Yukon. Completed in 1942 at a length of approximately 1,700 miles (2,700km), as of 2012 it is 1,387mi (2,232km) long. The difference in distance is due to constant reconstruction of the highway, which has rerouted and straightened out numerous sections. The highway was opened to the public in 1948. Legendary over many decades for being a rough, challenging drive, the highway is now paved over its entire length.
An informal system of historic mileposts developed over the years to denote major stopping points; Delta Junction, at the end of the highway, makes reference to its location at "Historic Milepost 1422." It is at this point that the Alaska Highway meets the Richardson Highway, which continues 96mi (155km) to the city of Fairbanks. This is often regarded, though unofficially, as the northern portion of the Alaska Highway, with Fairbanks at Historic Milepost 1520. Mileposts on this stretch of highway are measured from Valdez, rather than the Alaska Highway. The Alaska Highway is popularly (but unofficially) considered part of the Pan-American Highway, which extends south (despite its discontinuity in Panama) to Argentina.
The George Parks Highway (numbered Interstate A-4 and Alaska Route 3), usually called simply the Parks Highway, runs 323 miles (520 km) from the Glenn Highway 35 miles (56 km) north of Anchorage to Fairbanks in the Alaska Interior. The highway, originally known as the Anchorage-Fairbanks Highway, was completed in 1971, and given its current name in 1975.
It is a common misconception that the name "Parks Highway" comes from the road's proximity to the Denali state and national parks; it is in fact in honor of George Alexander Parks, governor of the Territory of Alaska from 1925 to 1933. However, the aptness of the name was recognized when it was chosen.
Gary Corbett kills a pair of claim jumpers who did likewise to his father. He is charged with murder, but cannot be taken to Juneau to stand trial until the weather permits. Marshal John Masters keeps him in town until the prisoner can be moved.
Roxie Reagan, who sings at Tom LaRue's saloon, falls in love with Corbett, but she is trapped in a loveless marriage to John Reagan, an alcoholic has-been actor. LaRue also is in love with Roxie, and he and a local judge are suspected by Corbett of being in cahoots with the claim jumpers.
LaRue tries to frame Corbett for another murder, then sets the jail on fire. John Reagan courageously comes to Corbett's rescue, losing his own life in the process. The marshal deals with LaRue, but suddenly reveals that he is the one who has been backing the murderous claim jumpers all along. Corbett manages to get the better of Masters, then sets sail for San Francisco with his bride-to-be, Roxie.
Alaska is a periodical devoted to news and discussion of issues and features of and from Alaska. Most of its readership consists of persons outside of Alaska who are interested in the Alaskan way of life.
History and profile
Alaska magazine was founded in 1935 in Ketchikan, Alaska, by Emery Fridolf Tobin (1895-1977) and J. Ray Roady (1907-1997). Tobin established himself as an opponent of Alaska statehood, although this may have been contradictory, given his ties to the Democratic party and the fact that he and Roady served as State Representatives in 1959.
Alaska magazine was originally titled the Alaska Sportsman Magazine, a name it retained until 1969. It operated much then as it does today, being sold through newsstand sales and subscriptions. The major difference in its early days was the fact that paper stock to print the magazine arrived via steamship, posing the threat of delays, and it operated out of a small basement. Another major difference is that the editorial and sales offices have moved to Alaska's economic center, the city of Anchorage.

ALASKA HIGHWAY ROAD TRIP! What is it like to drive the Alaska Highway? Must do places to stop?
We are traveling the Alaska Highway in our 2013 Ford Transit Connect micro camper van! We left Dawson Creek, the start of the Alaska Highway, and made our way to Alaska. We were stuck on the Alaska Highway due to an accident for over 8 hours, our tire went flat and we got a cracked windshield but that didn't stop us from having an amazing adventure! We took a soak in the Liard River Hot Springs and added our very own (tiny) sign to the Sign Post Forest along the way.

We made it onto the Alaska Highway! 🇨🇦🇺🇸
The Alaska Highway runs around 1,400 miles from Dawson Creek in British Columbia to Delta Junction, Alaska, going through the Yukon along the way. We spent a total of a week driving this road, with 3 days of it in British Columbia, which has tons of stunning views, fun stops, hikes, a hot spring, wildlife, and so much more!

This U.S. Army documentary film shows us the construction of the 1,700 miles of the Alaskan Highway.
The Alaska Highway (also known as the Alaskan Highway, Alaska-Canadian Highway, or ALCAN Highway) was constructed during World War 2, after the Japanese invasion of Kiska Island and Attu Island in the Aleutians, for the purpose of connecting the contiguous United States to Alaska through Canada. It begins at the junction with several Canadian highways in Dawson Creek, British Columbia, and runs to Delta Junction, Alaska, via Whitehorse, Yukon. The highway was Completed in 1942 at a length of approximately 1,700 miles (2,700 km), as of 2012 it is 1,387 mi (2,232 km) long. The difference in distance is due to constant reconstruction of the highway, which has rerouted and straightened out numerous sections. The highway was opened to the public in 1948. Legendary over many decades for being a rough, challenging drive, the highway is now paved over its entire length.
Construction of the Alaska Highway | 1942 | US Army Engineers Documentary
We are traveling the Alaska Highway in our 2013 Ford Transit Connect micro camper van! We left Dawson Creek, the start of the Alaska Highway, and made our way to Alaska. We were stuck on the Alaska Highway due to an accident for over 8 hours, our tire went flat and we got a cracked windshield but that didn't stop us from having an amazing adventure! We took a soak in the Liard River Hot Springs and added our very own (tiny) sign to the Sign Post Forest along the way.

Driving The ALCAN Highway | Through Canada to Alaska
Traveling through Coutts Canada to the Alcan border crossing in Alaska during the Covid outbreak.
The roads were almost empty with only a few cars heading north to Alaska.
The wildlife was so relaxed as we passed by.
A long and quick trip due to Canadian travel restrictions.
Alaska Highway is a 1943 American film directed by Frank McDonald.
Synopsis
In February 1942 a road construction gang working in Northern California are summoned to a meeting. The boss of the gang has been commissioned as a Major in the US Army Corps of Engineers and signs up the entire crew with his two sons gaining direct entry as Technical Sergeants to build the Alcan Highway. One of the brothers wishes to enlist in the US Marine Corps to fight the Japanese rather than build another road. He changes his mind when he meets the daughter of one of the heads of the project with the two brothers fighting over her as they build the highway. Their feud is forgotten when the Japanese invade Kiska.
Plot
The film begins with the attack on Pearl Harbor. Alaska at the time was weakly defended. Canada had already built the northwest staging route; a series of airfields spread across northwestern Canada.
The decision is made to build a highway to Alaska. The workers are divided into three starting camps, Fort Nelson, B.C., Skagway, Alaska, and Valdez, Alaska.
