White House of the North: Stories From the Alaska Governor's Mansion

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.
