The material records wartime military logistics federal civilian contracting and frontier transportation construction through photographs official permits military certifications and worker inscriptions connected to the rapid building of the ALCAN Highway in 1942-1943. Compiled by civilian laborer Paul Cecil Pemble an employee of Ferguson-Diell Construction Company the album connects private contractors federal agencies and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to the construction of a strategic military supply route linking the contiguous United States to Alaska following Japan's Aleutian Islands campaign. The archive provides primary-source evidence for wartime infrastructure mobilization civilian labor under military authority and the logistical expansion of defense systems in the North American Arctic frontier.<br /> <br /> Oblong string-tied photo album in original painted suede leather covers titled Alaska - Where the North Begins with embossed and hand-colored totemic decoration. Contains approximately 66 silver gelatin photographs ranging in size from approximately 4.5 x 3.25 inches to 10 x 8 inches alongside multiple official documents licenses permits correspondence and autograph pages. Included documents identify Paul Cecil Pemble as a civilian heavy equipment operator employed on the Alaska Highway project. These include a Public Roads Administration license issued under the Federal Works Agency dated June 29 1943; a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers certification dated August 4 1943 signed by First Lieutenant Colin L. Park authorizing operation of trucks tractors and wheeled scrapers; and an Alcan Military Highway Command permit dated August 19 1943 authorizing travel on the restricted military roadway. A typed letter from Tok Junction dated October 8 1943 confirms the extension of Pemble's Selective Service deferment due to essential wartime labor. Several opening pages titled "Memory Leaves" contain approximately sixty signatures and inscriptions from fellow workers many identifying hometowns in Iowa and including humorous remarks and nicknames such as "Cook" "Butch" and "Alaska Thunderbolt." The photographs extensively document construction activity and camp life including bulldozers graders cranes timber bridge scaffolding military truck convoys wrecked vehicles stranded in ditches muddy roadbeds and large encampments of prefabricated structures. Multiple images show men constructing river crossings operating machinery and posing in work clothes beside heavy equipment. Additional photographs depict interior bunkhouses mess hall scenes with workers gathered around tables and a large group portrait of more than fifty civilian laborers posed before a treeline. Wildlife and recreation also appear throughout the album including black bears scavenging through refuse fishing scenes with large catches displayed by workers dogs resting beside snowy roads and Pemble's trailer quarters attached to the back of a truck. The final pages include panoramic camp views and directional signpost photographs listing construction companies and distances to Fairbanks Whitehorse and multiple contractor camps along the route.<br /> <br /> The album records the logistical effort required to construct the Alaska Highway across remote and environmentally severe terrain during wartime emergency conditions. Built in response to fears of Japanese expansion into Alaska and the North Pacific the highway became a critical military supply corridor linking airfields fuel depots transport infrastructure and defense installations across Alaska and western Canada. The album focuses on civilian laborers operating within military-controlled systems including contract workers represented through photographs permits deferment documents and personal inscriptions. The combination of photographs permits deferment documents and personal inscriptions records daily life labor conditions and federal wartime administration on the ALCAN project.

1945215781945. AArchive of 64 original black-and-white photographs documenting American military operations and engineering activities in the Aleutian Islands during World War II. Photographs measure approximately 4.5" x 3.5" and provide an extensive visual record of one of the most remote and environmentally challenging theaters of the war. The images chronicle the daily work of U.S. Army personnel and Army Engineers stationed across the Aleutian chain where military forces confronted not only the threat of enemy action but also some of the harshest conditions faced by American troops anywhere during the conflict. Soldiers appear throughout the archive wearing cold-weather gear field jackets heavy boots and M1 steel helmets while working patrolling and constructing infrastructure amid windswept volcanic landscapes.<br /> <br /> A significant portion of the collection documents the enormous logistical effort required to sustain military operations in the islands. Engineers are shown surveying terrain operating equipment cutting and processing timber and building facilities essential to maintaining isolated military outposts. Several striking photographs depict large timber-log chutes descending steep hillsides toward the shoreline apparently designed to move heavy equipment and supplies through terrain where conventional transportation proved difficult. Other images record lumber operations construction projects and the continual adaptation of military infrastructure to the rugged environment. The archive also contains numerous panoramic views of the Aleutian landscape itself. Snow-covered mountains barren volcanic ridges isolated coastlines glacial valleys and treeless tundra dominate many photographs illustrating why the campaign became as much a battle against geography and weather as against enemy forces. The Aleutian chain stretching deep into the North Pacific and containing dozens of active and dormant volcanoes represented one of the most isolated regions under American military control during the war.<br /> <br /> Naval and maritime operations are likewise represented. Several photographs show transport and supply vessels anchored offshore or approaching remote coastal installations highlighting the dependence of Aleutian bases upon sea-borne logistics. Military camps consisting of Quonset huts and tent encampments appear throughout the collection while one particularly notable image captures an aircraft flying above a military installation underscoring the importance of aerial reconnaissance and patrol operations in protecting the northern approaches to Alaska. Although often overshadowed by campaigns in Europe and the Central Pacific the Aleutian campaign held considerable strategic importance. Following the Japanese occupation of Attu and Kiska in 1942 American forces undertook a costly effort to secure the islands and maintain control of the northern Pacific. These photographs document the infrastructure manpower and determination required to operate in a theater where extreme weather isolation and difficult terrain shaped every aspect of military life. A substantial and visually compelling archive documenting the engineering logistical and environmental realities of America's northernmost front during World War II. Photographs remain in very good condition with minor surface wear and occasional light creasing. unknown

The Kodiak Naval Operating Base later the Seventeenth Naval District was formally established in April 1941 as were Army coastal defense forces nearby at Fort Greely both placed on alert after the attack on Pearl Harbor. After the Japanese landings at Kiska and Attu in June 1942 Kodiak's carriers and submarines played critical roles in the joint campaigns with Canada to secure them. Captain William Rhodes the author of the "Acknowledgement" that serves as preface to What's Cooking in Kodiak had been part of the original study team in 1938 thereafter had served on numerous carriers and as an air fleet commander during the War and returned to command the naval station in August 1952. His wife is the contributor of a recipe for Filipino Style Fish on page 177. The earliest date however that one of the illustrators Martha Bolling can be placed there - as the wife of a navy airman and instructor at a summer arts school - is 1955. The contributor of a recipe for Lemon Souffle on page 69 Alice Watson Estabrook would have departed Kodiak in 1959 with her husband William Sears Estabrook who served for three years as inspector general at the Kodiak base before his retirement. ~ The Seventeenth Naval District was disestablished on 30 June 1971 during an overhaul of the entire administrative system and in 1972 the site was turned over to the United States Coast Guard. Today the Naval Operating Base and Fort Greely form part of a National Historic Landmark on the National Register in recognition of the roles played by men and women stationed there during World War II. ~ White plastic comb holding blue and white covers the front panel illustrated with a fanciful kettle wearing a chef's hat; with some edge-wear and a crease to the lower front fore-corner.

In a small plastic envelop with information on Kidder Corp Coins printed on it. USS Alaska SSBN-732 is a United States Navy Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine which has been in commission since 1986. She is the fourth US Navy ship to be named for the Territory or State of Alaska. The contract to build Alaska was awarded to the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics Corporation in Groton Connecticut on 27 February 1978 and her keel was laid down there on 9 March 1983. She was launched on 12 January 1985 sponsored by Mrs. Catherine Stevens wife of US Senator Theodore F. Stevens of Alaska; and commissioned on 25 January 1986. USS Alaska spent much of 1986 engaged in shakedown training for her two crews and in clearing up the many details that attend a new fleet ballistic missile submarine's addition to the Fleet. She operated initially from New London Connecticut and Port Canaveral Florida but shifted homeport to the Pacific Northwest later in the year 4 September to 1 October 1986. Alaska sailed through the Panama Canal and visited San Francisco California 21-29 September while en route. She then served with Submarine Squadron 17 Submarine Group 9 at Naval Submarine Base Bangor Washington. Alaska sailed on her first missile deterrent patrol manned by her Blue Crew in the Pacific 7 December 1986 to 19 February 1987. Her Gold Crew carried out Patrol 2 16 March to 28 May 1987. She completed an engineered overhaul at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard Bremerton Washington 1 May 2000 to 9 December 2001. The work included a Trident II D5 "backfit" that enabled Alaska to fire the improved version of the submarine launched ballistic missile. In addition the overhaul upgraded her to shoot the Mk 48 Advanced Capability ADCAP torpedo. Alaska had carried out 47 Trident I C4 and 12 Trident II D5 deterrent missile patrols when she sailed from Kitsap for the final time on 8 July 2006. The submarine subsequently completed a 27½-month engineered refueling and overhaul at Norfolk Naval Shipyard Virginia on 8 March 2009. Alaska shifted to Submarine Squadron 20 Submarine Group 10 at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay Georgia on 1 May 2009; she arrived at Kings Bay on 1 April. On 28 April 2010 the Navy announced plans to convert living spaces on Alaska to accommodate female crewmembers. Kidder Corp Coins unknown
