Book excerpt: "The history of the U.S. Army's contributions to the development of Alaska, from the day of its purchase until the present day, is a story of noble achievement. That the civilian settlement and growth of the Territory was unimpaired by a military form of government is a direct reflection on the forethought and ability of U.S. Army commanders who directed the actions of the Army in the Territory throughout the years. No longer a territory, Alaska has taken its place in the normal activities of the Union as a sovereign state. The Army assisted in the early years of statehood as in the territorial days. It will continue to play an important part in the history of the 49th state"--Foreword.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first detailed account of the 5,000 black troops who were reluctantly sent north by the United States Army during World War II to help build the Alaska Highway and install the companion Canol pipeline. Theirs were the first black regiments deployed outside the lower 48 states during the war. The enlisted men, most of them from the South, faced racial discrimination from white officers, were barred from entering any towns for fear they would procreate a "mongrel" race with local women, and endured winter conditions they had never experienced before. Despite this, they won praise for their dedication and their work. Congress in 2005 said that the wartime service of the four regiments covered here contributed to the eventual desegregation of the Armed Forces.

Download or read book Buffalo Soldiers in Alaska written by Brian G. Shellum and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2021-11 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The town of Skagway was born in 1897 after its population quintupled in under a year due to the Klondike gold rush. Balanced on the edge of anarchy, the U.S. Army stationed Company L, a unit of Buffalo Soldiers, there near the end of the gold rush. Buffalo Soldiers in Alaska tells the story of these African American soldiers who kept the peace during a volatile period in America's resource-rich North. It is a fascinating tale that features white officers and Black soldiers safeguarding U.S. territory, supporting the civil authorities, protecting Native Americans, fighting natural disasters, and serving proudly in America's last frontier. Despite the discipline and contributions of soldiers who served honorably, Skagway exhibited the era's persistent racism and maintained a clear color line. However, these Black Regulars carried out their complex and sometimes contradictory mission with a combination of professionalism and restraint that earned the grudging respect of the independently minded citizens of Alaska. The company used the popular sport of baseball to connect with the white citizens of Skagway and in the process gained some measure of acceptance. Though the soldiers left little trace in Skagway, a few remained after their enlistments and achieved success and recognition after settling in other parts of Alaska.
