S2 E1 Ghost Town with Tom Kizzia

In our first episode of Season Two we explore the Ghost Town decades of our Kennecott-McCarthy community in remote Alaska by way of an interview with author Tom Kizzia and his new book, Cold Mountain Path: The Ghost Town Decades of McCarthy-Kennecott, Alaska. We discuss ghost towns and what that means as a metaphor, not just about the past but about how we process the past. Along the way we explore the harrowing stories and reflections of Jim Edwards as well as our community's relationship with the Ahtna people and culture that predate the arrival of white development by millennia.
