What do a potato in Ed's pocket, a forklift racing backward downhill, and a bad-luck locomotive have in common? They are all stories from the new book People, Paths, and Places: The Frontier History of Moose Pass, Alaska. With a cast of colorful characters, you might be surprised what you learn about the so-called sleepy town of Moose Pass! A modern-day school assignment for students to learn about their town's history grew into a community project that had long-time residents rummaging through attics and closets for artifacts and stories. The resulting book, People, Paths, and Places: The Frontier History of Moose Pass, Alaska captures the unique history of one of the Kenai Peninsula's first frontier towns. Filled with historical photos and fascinating first-hand vignettes, the book was curated by Alaska historian, Rolfe G. Buzzell, Ph.D. and edited by Kaylene Johnson-Sullivan, former director of the Kenai Mountains-Turnagain Arm National Heritage Area. The forward by lifelong Moose Pass resident, Willow Hetrick-Price, explains how the project evolved and the importance of gathering these stories into one place. People, Paths, and Places: The Frontier History of Moose Pass is not only a fun read, but a great resource for anyone interested in Alaska frontier history. The book was sponsored by the Kenai Mountains-Turnagain Arm National Heritage Area; the Moose Pass Chamber of Commerce; the Moose Pass Sportsmen’s Club; and the Moose Pass Public Library.
