Modern Marvels. Alcan Highway
Description
The Alcan Highway is one of the most picturesque roads in North America, but its construction was not quite as serene. It is a story of fifteen hundred miles and 11,000 soldiers - nearly 4,000 of them black, who were charged by a fateful time and meaningful military role: their task was to build a highway through some of the most imposing landscapes on Earth.
