Stories from the Alaska Governor's Mansion 

whitehouseofthenorth

A century's worth of legends and history surround the Alaska Governor's House, one of the oldest governors' homes in the U.S. Its past is a collage of glamorous balls, wartime austerity, fine art, backyard baseball, delicate antiques, leaky pipes, boisterous children, visiting dignitaries and even a bigamist governor. Author Carol Sturgulewski interviewed governors, first ladies and friends from every administration since 1925, supplemented by more than 75 historic photos and documents dating back to the 1890s. "White House of the North: Stories from the Alaska Governor's Mansion" is an intimate detailed view of Alaska's best-known home. Softcover $24.95.
