Cordova, The First 75 Years

Description:

From the foreword by Lone Janson: Seventy-five years ago, the town of Cordova was just rising from the sawdust and shavings of its own creation. To understand why this town grew on this spot, a person needs a sense of its location. Situated on Eyak Lake with Prince William Sound at its front door and the Copper River Flats at its back, it has access to the rich Kennecott copper of the interior up the Copper River, and was adjacent to oild and coal lands along the northern Gulf of Alaska.
