28 October 1942

28 October 1942, a date that will live forever in Black military history, is the date the Alaska Highway was finished. This book is a fictional account of a little-known historical fact; a third of the 10,000 plus US Army troops who built the Alaska-Canada Highway during WW II were African-Americans from the South. The bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, set in motion the Alcan construction. The War Department ordered the Army to begin a road construction project from Dawson Creek, BC Canada to Fairbanks, Alaska. Despite all the trials and tribulation encountered by the Colored troops in Alaska, they proved to the "Brass" that they were capable of any task. Some same this was the beginning of the modern civil rights struggle.
