Military leaders proposed a land route that would transport troops and equipment to Alaska and isolated outposts that otherwise would have to be supplied by air and sea. Wartime necessity put into action prewar plans for the construction of a road through the Canadian wilderness from Dawson's Creek to Fairbanks. The U.S.Army sent an Engineer provisional brigade of approximately 9,000 men that included segregated African American units. A total of 10,607 U.S. Army Engineer soldiers worked on the road, of which 3,695 were African American. The difficulties encountered in building the Highway were enormous. First, the climate dictated that there were only four months of good construction weather, and even then poor conditions hindered topographic surveys, route reconnaissance, and construction itself. Frequent rain caused delays. Flies and mosquitos tormented the soldiers. The rest of the year brought extreme cold and deep snow. Second, soldiers were forced to live in tents year-round and frequently had to subsist on monotonous rations. Lack of heavy equipment, especially specialized machinery and tools, meant much of the clearing and transport work had to be done through arduous manual labor, exhausting soldiers already working extra shifts during the long summer days. Though the Japanese threat to Alaska and Canada that had prompted the construction of the Alaska Highway had faded by 1943, the road nevertheless served as a vital conduit for the construction of airfields and other military infrastructure. This infrastructure served not only routine coastal defense but also was a vital base to transfer Lend-Lease aircraft to the Soviet Union during the war. The highway opened to the public in 1948, allowing access to remote areas of Canada, and has become a popular scenic tourist route, a notable legacy for what was a significant military engineering achievement of U.S. Army Engineers) | $900.00 To bid in this auction, please login or create a new account. |
