Alaskan History Magazine Returns
Contributed by Helen Hegener, Northern Light Media
Alaskan History Magazine features stories and photos of the people, places and events which shaped the history of Alaska. Published by Wasilla-based Northern Light Media and edited by Alaskan author Helen Hegener, the magazine first ran for three years, from May-June 2019 through July-August, 2021, when the covid-19 pandemic forced cancellation.
The fourteen issues originally published are still available in both print and Kindle print replica editions at the website: https://alaskanhistorymagazine.com
There are a few changes to the current edition of Alaskan History Magazine, and foremost among those changes will be single issue only sales, with no subscriptions, but every issue will remain available, and the first new issue will be available in mid-January. Other changes from the original magazine include a b/w interior instead of color, 6” x 9” format instead of 8.5” x 11,” and the page count may vary between 48 and 64, depending on content. Issues will be identified by volume and number, but not dated, as history is timeless.
The first issue includes the history of Tanana, the story of the newspaper which was the distant forerunner of today’s Anchorage Daily News, the New Zealand writer whose grandfather built the Ohio Roadhouse northwest of Fairbanks, the final fatal visit to Alaska made by the great humorist Will Rogers and his best friend and pilot Wiley Post, and why the Alaska Central Railroad failed and how it became part of the government-run Alaska Railroad which still travels the rails today.
