Dear reader, do you happen to be of Hungarian descent? Czech? Romanian? Slovakian? Serbian? Bulgarian? Were your parents or elder ancestors from Greece, Ukraine, Russia, Poland or almost anywhere in Eastern Europe? Then you or your family members might have been called “bohunks” and not allowed to live in early Anchorage. Though you would have been welcome to work for the Alaska Railroad in exchange for low wages in trying conditions.
