These illustrations of historic Alaska by Byron Birdsall, one of
the state’s most renowned artists, portray the territory from the
beginning of the twentieth century through the first decades after
Alaska achieved statehood in 1959. Accompanied by informative
captions, the black-and-white drawings are organized by region:
Southcentral Alaska including Anchorage, the Arctic, the Interior,
the western/Bering Sea coast, and Southeast. Birdsall’s masterful
illustrations depict a myriad of scenes, from tents on Ship Creek
in 1915 to a train unloading tourists at McKinley Park Station in
1935, from the Governor’s Mansion in 1939 in the capital city of
Juneau to the Good Friday earthquake in 1964 and the Trans-Alaska
Pipeline near the Koyukuk River in 1975.
