Author: Gislason, Eric Senator E.L. "Bob" Bartlett: Architect of Alaska Statehood 
 This site uses a statue of Senator Bartlett (Alaska Territorial Delegate 1945-59, senator 1959-1968) as a "gateway into an abridged account of the historical and political context of Alaska's long struggle from neglected colony to 49th state." Features a brief illustrated history of Alaska statehood (admitted January 3, 1959) and information about the role of Edna Ferber's novel "Ice Palace" in Alaska's quest for statehood. Part of the Capitol Project from American Studies at the University of Virginia (UVA). http://xroads.virginia.edu/~CAP/BARTLETT/btintro.html Topics: Notable People: Government, U.S. History By Place Last updated Oct 13, 2005 |
