Bob Bartlett Goes To Washington

Fri, March 12, 2010

MR. ALASKA: BOB BARTLETT GOES TO WASHINGTON tells a Capra-esque story of one man’s political, professional and personal journey from the streets of a gritty gold-rush town to the halls of the U.S. Senate.

Edward Lewis “Bob” Bartlett represented Alaska in Washington D.C. for more than two decades, first as Alaska’s Territorial Delegate to Congress and later as the state’s first Senator.

Bartlett’s most exclusive distinction: he helped create the very state he served.

Monday, March 15. 7:00 – 8:30 p.m.

Viewers loved BUILDING ALASKA we are bringing it back in March.

“It celebrates Alaska’s engineering achievements during the 50th anniversary of statehood. Alaska’s arctic climate, with permafrost, cold and darkness, make it a difficult and expensive place to build.

The story of overcoming these obstacles to create engineering masterpieces is the stuff of dramatic and visually spectacular TV.”
