The Matanuska colonists from Minnesota Michigan and Wisconsin under New Deal auspices increasingly believe they will succeed in Alaska despite early fears of failure. Some families faced tough conditions as fortunary land drawings left many in swampy tracts, but arrivals report satisfaction and willingness to endure hardships as they begin farming away from government interference.
