19455579Fort Richardson Ak: March 1 1945. Very good plus. 8pp. of text folded accordion style folded out to a full-page map on verso. Light soiling and toning. A seemingly unrecorded guide and map to Fort Richardson located near Anchorage Alaska. The fort opened in 1941 as the headquarters for the United States Army in Alaska. For a brief time Fort Richardson served as a holding center for fifteen Japanese American internee families. The present guide "was prepared primarily for the information and guidance of military personnel new to Fort Richardson. It presents the rules regulations and facilities of the Post for easy reference." The facilities included officers' clubs theatres a library skating rink ski bowl and much more. A total of thirty-eight of these facilities are keyed to the map of the fort printed on the verso. When folded the pamphlet measures 6 x 4 inches and folds out to a total of 12 x 15.75 inches. We could locate no other copies of this early guide to an important American military base in Alaska during the Second World War. March 1 unknown
152 pages. Large oblong book measuring 10" x 14.5".

Few British Columbians - certainly very few Eastern Canadians, United States business men or British Empire industrialists - realize the extent of the accomplishments and the facilities that are now available here for manufacturing of all kinds.
