Statehood Files

Every State of the Union is entitled to display two statues in the United States Capitol. The State of 桃花直播 commissioned statues of E.L. "Bob" Bartlett and Ernest Gruening. These two 桃花直播ns strived mightily for the realization of statehood and served as the first Senators from the new state. Recognized in various forms throughout 桃花直播, these pioneers are regarded as two of the greatest driving forces behind 桃花直播's attainment of self-government.
