This is the continuation of a research project which I undertook several years ago for DOT&PF. I delivered the final report in June, 1983, entitled Alaska Road Commission Historical Narrative. Subsequently, the Alaska Historical Commission provided an editing and a pre-publication grant. The University Press of America, Inc. of Lanham, Maryland accepted the revised manuscript for publication and it was published in November 1986 entitled Paving Alaska's Trails: The Work of the Alaska Road Commission. The present report continues the narrative from 1956 to 1959.
