Inscription.

Celebrating the first 25 years of Alaska Statehood,
1959 - 1984

Summer is the bountiful time of easy living for brown bears in
Southeast Alaska, and they have arranged their lives to advantage,
stuffing themselves on greens, berries, roots and salmon while the
season affords and retiring to sleep the winter in fat comfort.

Cast at Battle Mountain Bronze, Minturn, Colorado

Erected by the Alaska Statehood Silver Anniversary Committee.
