"For the most part this is a story of my eighteen months as a catskinner in British Columbia and the Yukon Territory pioneering the Alcan Highway from Fort Nelson to Contact Creek, the Winter Trail from Fort Nelson to Fort Simpson, and the Canol Pipeline Road from Johnson's Crossing to Norman Wells. When these tasks were completed, we returned to the United States to ready ourselves for relocation to the European Theater of Operations."--Excerpt from Prologue, page 1.
