About the Book
This book began in the mid 1970s, after historian and author Evangeline Atwood finished her sixth book on Alaska. Fairbanks Daily News-Miner executive Charles Gray and Ketchikan Daily News publisher Lew Williams Jr. urged her to write a history of Alaska newspaper. She finished a manuscript, "A History of One Hundred Years of Newspapering in Alaska, 1885-1985," but dies of cancer in 1987 before it could be published.
