Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Alaska Today This is a book for persons who believe that life in a new environment may offer more opportunity than their present one. Alaska unquestionably is a land of opportunity for people of initiative and energy for the simple reason that in Alaska the proportion of area and resources to population is greater than in any other division of the United States. Proof of this is found in these pages. Specific illustrations of successful careers are given in Chapter 24, "Who´s Who in Alaska." In studying these biographical sketches, the reader will readily perceive that so-called pioneer life in America´s last frontier is merely active participation in recognized pursuits common to any industrial, agricultural, or urban community in the States. Evidence of a new and stronger economy in Alaska is indicated by the initiative and activity of its residents in many phases of economic life, such as ground and air transportation, enlarged tourist facilities, and the lumber industry. These are all favorable signs, pointing to the day when Alaska´s economy will be controlled by its permanent residents with lessening control by "outside" interests and capital. Alaska is a good place, a country of opportunity for anyone willing to work wholeheartedly for the development of the land of his choice.
