Volume 3
 Laurel Downing Bill continues to bring Alaska history alive with the release of Volume 3 in her series, "Aunt Phil's Trunk."
Released in May 2008, this volume spans 1912-1935 and highlights the pioneering spirit of early Alaskans as they enter a new era as a territory of the United States.
Following in the tradition of the earlier volumes, "Aunt Phil's Trunk: Volume 3" sells for $19.95 and features more than 300 historical photographs to complement vivid stories about Alaska's history. This book showcases stories about early Anchorage and the Alaska railroad, epidemics and rescues in the Far North and the daring flyboys of the 1920s.
It also shares how Alaska's Native people fought for recognition, follows colonists into the Matanuska Valley and tells of the fatal crash of Wiley Post and Will Rogers in Barrow.
