Cold Mountain Path: The Ghost Town Decades of McCarthy-Kennecott, Alaska

Tom Kizzia

4.9/5 (21745 ratings)

Description:We all have ghost towns. Impermanent places we dream of returning to. Here was Alaska’s. In 1938, the last copper train left the Wrangell Mountains. But the spirit of the old days—free-wheeling, self-reliant, bounty-blessed—lived on in the remote town of McCarthy. The valley’s few holdouts were joined over time by a gallery of prospectors, grifters, back-to-the-landers, dreamers, escape artists, hippies, speculators, preachers, and outlaws. While the rest of Alaska boomed in the new oil age, an old and makeshift way of life persisted against the quiet undertow of the past, that ebbing toward the wilderness that was here before us. Then the modern world found its way back in. A road, a bridge, a national park. A mass shooting that left six dead. Cold Mountain Path is a deeply American saga of renunciation and renewal—a rollicking local history that is also a lyrical exploration of time, loss, and change ... and a pulsating account of the morning that brought Alaska’s ghost town decades to an end.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
