Did you know that the Kennecott Mines, northeast of Valdez were one of the richest copper deposits ever discovered?
Shawn - thank you for the update -
In the late 50s a mining company has surface mining rights to kennecott.
Consolidated wrangel mining company and Howard knudson was one of the owners
The hospital wasn't the only white building..at least 3 more white structures
Great history I didn't know. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!
