Did you know:

• Japanese troops bombed and occupied two islands in Alaska during World War II?

• The U.S. Air Force song was written by an Alaskan?

• It took less than nine months for soldiers to build the 1,700-mile Alaska-Canada highway?

These and many more short stories fill the pages of Aunt Phil's Trunk Volume Four, along with hundreds of historical photos that bring this amazing history to life!

Volume Four features Alaska during World War II, the Cold War, and the struggle for statehood. From Eskimos guarding Alaska's coastline to Russians roaming the streets of Fairbanks to ordinary Alaskans fighting for the rights of all American citizens, this volume captures the spirit of what it waslike to live in the far north during this time period.

“I’ve been touting these books since the first volume appeared three years ago. They combine clear writing and plenty of details without getting bogged down in minutia. They include both the big stories and many lesser-known incidents. And they are densely illustrated with photographs showing what life was like in Alaska’s earlier days. It’s a great package, and it hasn’t failed yet … If you haven’t done so, take some time and open Aunt Phil’s Trunk; you’ll find plenty of treasures inside.”
