Sobre este artículo
Alaska Cedar Press, 1993. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall. Hard Cover, With Dust Jacket, Very Good Condition. Surface Tear On Back Free Endpaper. In The Beginning ... The Year Was 1900. Jack Smith And Clarence Warner, Two Prospectors, Spotted A Large Green Spot On The Mountainside Between The Kennicott Glacier And Mccarthy Creek. What Looked Like A Patch Of Green Grass Turned Out To Be One Of The Richest Deposits Of Copper Ore Ever Found! Stephen Birch, A Young Mining Engineer Looking For Alaskan Claims In 1901, Was Approached By Smith To Make An Inspection Of His Findings. Eventually, Birch Got The Backing Of Men Such As The Guggenheim Brothers And J.P. Morgan Who Bought The Existing Claims. In 1906 Kennecott Mines Company Was Formed, Which Later Became Kennecott Copper Corporation. (The Mining Company Was Supposed To Take The Name Of The Glacier Which Was Named After Robert Kennicott, An Early Alaskan Explorer, But The Company Name Was Misspelled. The Town And Glacier Are Spelled Kennicott But The Mines And Company Are Spelled Kennecott.) The Next Hurdle Was To Transport The Copper Ore From The Mines To The Coastal Town Of Cordova, Where It Would Be Shipped To Tacoma, Washington, By The Alaska Steamship Company For Smelting. Michael J. Heney, A Master Railroad Builder, Was Called Upon To Oversee The Construction Of The Copper River Northwestern Railway. Construction Began The Spring Of 1908 At Cordova And Stretched 196 Miles To The Kennecott Mines.
