Wesley Earl Dunkle : Alaska's flying miner / Charles Caldwell Hawley.
This book is more than a biography of one of the territory's leading citizens. It tells of the evolution of Alaska from territory to state, 1912-1959, and provides a vehicle for understanding the region's economic and social history during this little known but important period.
