From the turn of the twentieth century in interior Alaska, dog team
mail carriers were charged with maintaining the trail systems and
carrying the mail, until they were replaced in the late 1930s and
'40s by airplane mail service. With the advent and widespread
adoption of aviation, many of the trails were abandoned, and a
generation of rural Alaskans has now grown up with few ties to the
overland trail system that supported their grandparents and
inspired modern traditions such as the world-famous Iditarod Race.
In addition to chronicling the history of this unique postal
service, "On Time Delivery" pays tribute to the men who carried the
mail and the families who supported them, while also considering
the changing nature of how people experience the country where they
live - and how this is affected by the systems of communication and
transportation on which they depend.
