Juneau-land of primeval seascapes and towering peaks, of magnificent glaciers, of gold and greed, of forests and fish, of totems and tourists, of government as practiced by rugged individualists. Juneau: lush land of contradictions. Juneau is surely the most unique of America's capital cities, and this videotape brings the community to life in all its dimensions: its people, its wildlife, its spectacular scenery, its recreational and cultural amenities, its transportation and communications systems, its history, its industry, its role in Alaska politics. The program depicts the region's native cultures, the era of European discovery, the defining moment when Joe Juneau and Richard Harris discovered gold in Silver Bow Basin, the first half of the 20th Century when Juneau was the hard rock mining capital of the world, and its modern incarnation as a hub of tourism and government. This is a must-see program for Alaska history buffs. DVD-Video
