Condition: Good. The bindings are tight and square. Text is clean; light, even age-toning. Moderate shelf handling wear. Fading on the spine, 9.75 inches tall; 158 [1] pages; illustrated with black-and-white photography. A vivid firsthand account of post war exploration along the then new Alaska Highway; Woolcock, one of the few women to undertake such a journey at the time, chronicles the challenges, surprises, and sheer exhilaration of traversing rugged northern landscapes in an era when roads were rough, services sparse, and wildlife encounters frequent. The narrative blends travelogue, personal memoir, and historical observation, presenting not only the physical obstacles of the route but also the social and cultural context of the remote communities along the way. Readers gain insight into the audacity, resilience, and curiosity required for long-distance travel in northern North America during the late 1940s, making this a compelling read for enthusiasts of history, women's exploration, and early Alaskan travel. Subjects: Alaska Highway, post-World War II exploration, women travelers, northern North America, road travel, personal memoir, pioneering journeys, Travel memoir, historical narrative, women's adventure literature.
