The History of Alaska Told Through Historic Photographs
(Nashville, TN)
On Saturday, April 26th at 12pm, Dermot Cole will be signing his latest release, Historic Photos of Alaska. This event is free and will take place at the Barnes & Noble located at 421 Mehar Ave, Fairbanks, AK 99701. For more information, call (907) 452-6446.
This beautiful 10x10 gift book rediscovers the 49th state’s fascinating past through nearly 200 rare photographs culled from the Alaska State Library; Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center; the Rasmuson Library; the University of Alaska-Anchorage;
From its numerous wildlife reserves to its booming cities, from dog-sledding to the trans-Alaska oil pipeline, from Fairbanks to Ketchikan, Alaska shines through the decades in glorious black-and-white photography, displayed in a large format.
“I find that learning history is a great way to gain an understanding of the present,” says Cole. “I hope this book serves as a reminder of Alaska’s heritage during its 50th anniversary of statehood celebration that continues through 2009; Alaska’s culture and history is important and worth preserving and knowing.”
Historic Photos of Alaska is part of Turner Publishing’s Historic Photos series. These books, highlighting the history of the great cities, pivotal events, and legendary figures across America, have been acclaimed as a staple in the collection of anyone who loves history.
