With this volume, Dermot Cole chronicles the rollicking backstory of a city that owes its beginnings to a cargo boat accident and the Klondike gold rush. Cole engagingly recounts how Fairbanks and its hardy residents survived floods, fires, harsh weather, and economic crises to see the city flourish into the prosperous transportation hub and government seat it is today. \u003ci\u003eFairbanks\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eis ultimately a fascinating historical saga of one of the last cities to be established on the American frontier.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-66588\"\u003eDermot Cole\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Alaska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781602230309\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1602230307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS036110\"\u003eUnited States | State \u0026amp; Local | Pacific Northwest (OR, WA)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDermot Cole \u003c\/b\u003eis a columnist for the \u003ci\u003eFairbanks Daily News-miner\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Alaska Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44583695581421,"sku":"9781602230309","price":17.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_40d02e68-455c-4c7e-a40f-8cf792f8a86a.jpg?v=1702127727","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/fairbanks-a-gold-rush-town-that-beat-the-odds-9781602230309","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
