Do you remember Capt. Elden "Ed" Borders?

Post  BLudington on Sun Sep 06, 2009 4:20 pm

I am writing a book about Ed Borders who was an Alaskan pioneer and one of the original members of the FSSF. He was born in Hot Springs, MT, travelled to Alaska in '39, and then, in the winter of '41, hiked the 1500+ miles of the proposed length of the Alaskan Highway to prove a continuous route existed. He became quite famous for that expedition. He was drafted in '42, attended engineering school in Fort Benning GA, and became a Capt with the FSSF. He was there at Kiska and then went to Italy. There is some uncertainty as to where he was killed. I am not sure if he fell at Monte la Difensa or not. I care deeply about Ed's story and preserving his legacy, but I have very little information about him after he was drafted. If anyone on this forum remembers anything about him, I would love to hear it. No piece of information is too small.
Thank you.
