Item description from seller

Published in a limited number and presented to the workers. Never released to the public. Previous owner's name on the top of the front free endpage - he is mentioned in the text. Green cloth with lighter green title and photo illustration in green shade. 12.5 inches tall; 72 unnumbered pages. Illustrated with numerous b/w captioned photographs. Complete muster rolls are included. The bindings are tight and square. Text is clean; light, even age-toning. Minimal shelf handling wear. Censorship label on front paste-down partially removed. This is a historical account detailing the experiences and contributions of the 340th Engineer General Service Regiment during the construction of the Alaska Military Highway, commonly known as the Alaska Highway, during World War II. This regimental history offers a firsthand perspective on the challenges and achievements faced by the unit in a pivotal military engineering project. The 340th Engineer Regiment played a crucial role in constructing the Alaska Highway, a strategic route intended to connect the contiguous United States to Alaska through Canada. This undertaking was of significant military importance, providing a land route for the transport of troops, equipment, and supplies during a time when Alaska's security was a concern. The regiment faced formidable challenges, including harsh weather conditions, rugged terrain, and the logistical difficulties of building infrastructure in remote areas. Their efforts contributed to the completion of a vital supply line that enhanced North American defense capabilities during the war. "Lower Post or Freeze" was published in a limited print run intended primarily for members of the regiment and affiliated parties. Due to its restricted distribution, original copies are considered rare collector's items. This publication serves as a valuable resource for understanding the logistical and human challenges involved in constructing the Alaska Highway and highlights the dedication and resilience of the soldiers who undertook this monumental task.
