Gaunt Beauty...Tenuous Life: Historic Resources Study for Gates of the Arctic National park and Preserve, Volume 2
Brown WE. 1988. Gaunt Beauty...Tenuous Life: Historic Resources Study for Gates of the Arctic National park and Preserve, Volume 2. National Park Service. Alaska
This Historic Resources Study is part of a multi-year, interdisciplinary Cultural Resources Inventory for the Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, performed under project direction of Michael L. Kunz. The inventory was programmed and funded by the National Park Service as an essential element of the planning process for the new park. The project began with archeological surveys in 1983. Most of the historical research, field work, and writing was accomplished in 1984 and 1985. After delays caused by the author's intervening assignments to other tasks, this study now joins the four volumes of draft archeological reports prepared by Mike Kunz and his stalwart crew. This work is offered as a functional document for the park in terms of: 1) recordation and evaluation of historic sites and 2) narrative development of historical themes useful for historic site context and interpretation of the park story. Beyond these funcitonal uses, it is the hope of the author that park employees' exposure to the narrative history will enrich their experiences in the park and make them attuned to the resources and neighbors they must work with.
