Here at the junction of the Chitina and Copper Rivers, the history of man's ambitions is writ in the places like Chitina, McCarthy, Kennicott--all fitted into the historical fabric which brought the hoards of adventurers and seekers of fortune. Now, the main sights are fish wheels, crowds of tourists, and local people living in place of extremes. The Copper Bonanza has long past, the old times now gone, the roads now for common passage--all of the former dreams only dreams, while a new race brings their own sense of history.
