| Summary | "Report of Governor's Representatives for California at Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition" is a historical account written by J. A. Filcher and Frank Wiggins in the early 20th century. This book details California's participation in the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition held in Seattle from June to October in 1909, documenting the efforts and outcomes of showcasing the state's resources and innovations. The report is an official document highlighting the intentions, challenges, and achievements associated with California's representation at a major international exposition. The narrative begins with the authors, acting as the Governor's representatives, outlining the challenges they faced in organizing a compelling exhibit within a set budget. They succeeded in constructing the California building, which was notable for its architecture and comprehensive display of the state’s agricultural and industrial products, showcasing everything from processed fruits to minerals. The report details the California exhibit's layout, themes, and materials, complemented by accounts of outreach efforts, educational displays, and the reception by the public. The California exhibit received numerous awards, underscoring its success in garnering attention and respect, making it a proud representation of the state's economic prowess at the exposition.
