Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In spite of the obstacles the Alaska truckers were presented with they never weakened in their determination to get the job done. These pioneer drivers never conquered or tamed Alaska's roads and weather, but they learned to operate on the back trails and paths--always making their way to the trip's end. In spite of all the challenges, they never quit. The following from Teddy Roosevelt is an appropriate salute to Alaskan truckers: "It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that high place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." Eighteen Wheels North to Alaska: A History of Trucking in Alaska is the story of Alaskan drivers who guided, coaxed, pushed, pulled, plowed, and somehow made it to the end of the road--and beyond--over high mountain passes, whiteout conditions, seventy below zero temperature, through mud, muck, and tundra terrain--even onto the Arctic Ocean ice beyond the shore.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It all began in the late sixties, I started core sampling at Finger Mountain for the Alaskan pipeline. Driving in such extreme conditions, -110 below with the wind chill factor, sometimes there was ice fog so thick you couldn't see past the end of the hood of your truck. It became clear many years later, when I would tell stories, that people did not understand or even believe some of the things we did in that vast, frozen, extreme wonderland, so I just stopped talking about it at all. The years went by, life went on, then the TV show came on and soon people were talking about driving the Ice Road. They started asking me if these things were true, and wanted to hear stories about it. I started thinking about it more and more, I wanted to get these stories down so my grandchildren would know what their grandfather did. I didn't realize I was such a big part of history. Soon after, my sister Arlean approached me about putting together a book and letting the whole world know what myself and so many others went through. I said okay, lets head down this road and see where it may take us. Even now though, at seventy two, I am still working odd-jobs, it is hard getting used to working only forty hours a week. A person could work two or three jobs at this rate, and as long as I can move I will continue to work.
