Description
Celebrating Alaska’s 50-year statehood anniversary, Bridges to Statehood features
the last territorial governor, Mike Stepovich.
Over the Chilkoot Trail’s icy steps, these immigrants came—Stepovich, Butrovich, Dapcevich, Begich,
Paskvan, and Peratrovich—to guide Alaska from a raw land to statehood, from southeast to the arctic, from
gold camps to the forty-ninth star! Names so Alaskan that their Slavic stories went untold, they represented the
world’s former empires and today’s Balkan states and shaped all of Alaska. 395 pages with maps, timeline, and
historic photos on every page. Celebrating Alaska’s 50-year statehood anniversary, Bridges to Statehood
features not only the last territorial governor Mike Stepovich and the longest serving territorial and state senator
John Butrovich as well as Balkan pioneers throughout all of Alaska. Bridges to Statehood is Alaska, from
mining to fishing, from fur to bars, from retail to sports, from aviation to politics. Bridges includes the building of
the Alaska Highway, bringing communication to the Great Land, and the Alaska state constitutional convention.
This is a book celebrating Alaska’s fiftieth anniversary of statehood and told by the talented immigrants who
shaped Alaska. Two books in one, Bridges has a short international story of former Yugoslavia through the
Hajdukovichs, Stepovichs, Mellicks as well as Ferguson's friends, portraiting the evolution of "the Balkan
powder keg," told firsthand by those who lived it. Ferguson brings the story back to Alaska with Nedjo Spaic of
Palmer, Alaska: a global personal story of Alaska and the Balkans.
