Reading Recommendations
It’s that time of year in Alaska, the nights are looong and the weather is more condusive to tossing another log on the fire and firing up the sauna. I finally get a chance to catch up on reading a book or two. I’ve got shelves full of technical books and manuals but what I really enjoy reading are historical books on surveying topics.
One I would highly recommend dealing with Alaska is ‘Boundary Hunters’: Surveying the 141st Meridian and the Alaska Panhandle by Lewis Green. Great book on how the Alaska Canada boundary was surveyed through some of the most challenging country on earth in the early 1900s. These guys had serious cojones.
Anyone care to recommend some of their favorite titles on the subject I can check out?
Thanks ~ Willy
