About
Northwest Epic is the panoramic story of the courageous U.S. Army Engineers and civilian contractors who toiled in the tense months after Pearl Harbor to build a 1,500-mile emergency supply line through the rugged Canadian Rockies to isolated military bases in Alaska. The construction of this winding gravel road was very much an all-American adventure: blacks, whites, and natives working together under the harshest extremes of climate and terrain-racing to bolster Alaska's defenses and deter another Japanese attack on North American soil.
