Greetings Everyone!
As some of you know - today is Seward's Day and only celebrated in Alaska. It commemorates when the US purchased Alaska from Russia. US Secretary of State, William H. Seward spearheaded the initiative - also known as Seward's Folly. Alaska was purchased in 1867 for $7.2 million dollars - about two cents per acre!
With all that said ---- we celebrated Seward's Day here at the island -- staring the following cast of characters:
 |
| Ernie -- Russian Minister to the United States, Eduard De Stoeckl |
 |
| Mike -- US Secretary of State, William H. Seward |
 |
| Gunther -- Representing the US Senate |
 |
| Bridgett -- Representing the US pro-public opinion |
 |
| Deb -- Camera, Props Director and Blogologist |
SEWARD'S DAY
AN ISLAND REENACTMENT
 |
| HAPPY SEWARD'S DAY!!! |
