description
Every highway has a history. Built as a post-war project by the Dominion and Alberta governments, the Mackenzie highway is still the most important overland link between the Northwest Territories and the rest of Canada. Completed in 1948, the Mackenzie was built by trucks, for trucks. Trucking North is a popular social history about truck transportation and its impact on the communities of Northern Alberta and the Northwest Territories. Richly illustrated with maps and 77 photographs.
This book is primarily about truckers and truck transportation on the Mackenzie Highway and its tributaries. It is also about other forms of northern transportation that are linked to trucking, and about northern peoples, communities, and industries that depend upon truck transportation for survival.
