American Experience: Building the Alaska Highway AEC Video the album's lyrical themes commentIn May of 1942, across the rugged sub Arctic wilderness of Alaska and Canada, thousands of American soldiers began one of the biggest and most difficult construction projects ever undertaken building the Alaska Highway. This program tells how young soldiers battled mud, muskeg, and mosquitoes; endured ice, snow, and bitter cold; and cut pathways through primeval forests to push a 1,520 mile road across one of the world's harshest landscapes.
