The Trail of ‘42: A Pictorial History of the Alaska Highway by Stan Cohen is a photographic history of the construction of the Alaska Highway during World War II. The book documents the massive 1942 engineering project undertaken by the United States and Canada to build a strategic land route through remote wilderness connecting Dawson Creek, British Columbia to Fairbanks, Alaska.

Using historic black-and-white photographs and brief explanatory text, it captures the harsh conditions faced by soldiers, engineers, and civilian workers as they carved the highway through mountains, swamps, and frozen terrain. The book highlights both the logistical challenges and the significance of the route for wartime supply and later regional development.

A strong choice for readers interested in World War II history, Canadian–Alaskan heritage, and historical photography collections.
