The Washingtons. Volume 9
This is the ninth volume of a comprehensive history that traces the “Presidential Line” of the Washingtons. Volume one began with the immigrant John Washington who settled in Westmoreland Co., Va., in 1657, married Anne Pope, and was the great-grandfather of President George Washington. It contained the record of their descendants for a total of seven generations. Subsequent volumes two through eight continued this family history for an additional eight generations, highlighting most notable members (volume two) and tracing lines of descent from the royalty and nobility of England and continental Europe (volume three). Volume nine collects over 8,500 descendants of the recently discovered line of William Wright (died in Franklin Co., Va., ca. 1809). It also provides briefer accounts of five other early Wright families of Virginia that have often been mentioned by researchers as close kinsmen of George Washington, including: William Wright (died in Fauquier Co., Va., ca. 1805), Frances Wright and her husband Nimrod Ashby, and William Wright (died in Greensville Co., Va., by 1827). A cumulative index will complete the series as volume ten.
The Alaska Highway in World War II
After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, a fear of invasion swept North America—particularly the West Coast. Immediate steps needed to be taken to defend the Far Northwest. With Canada’s approval, Washington drew up plans for an Alaska Highway to connect Edmonton, Alberta, with Fairbanks, Alaska, and a pipeline to connect oil fields in the Northwest Territories with the Pacific Coast. Between 1942 and 1946, about 40,000 American military and civilian personnel invaded the Canadian Northwest. Where there had been few or no roads, a highway more than 1,500 miles long was built in less than a year. Navigation facilities were improved, and pipelines were laid from Fairbanks to the Pacific....

Working the North
Men and women, black and white, civilian and military -- they came north driven by the forces of World War II to build airfields, roads, and pipelines. The realities of their experiences meant more than just learning to cope with bitter cold in winter, endless mud and mosquitoes in summer. What could workers do for recreation? How could they organize? And what happened in the Native villages invaded by thousands of newcomers?Historians Ken Coates and Bill Morrison pursue these questions and others rarely discussed in histories of the North. Working the North examines the uncommon efforts of the common people and recognizes the significance of their contribution in the broader pattern of early twentieth century labor history. The book includes the workers' own recollections and documents as well as official records.
