  • Find Alaska Info!
    Find Alaska Info! Dear Student: Thank you for writing to request information about Alaska. This fl yer contains some interesting information about our great state. Alaska became the 49th state in 1959, right before Hawaii became the 50th state that same year. Many of Alaska’s 722,200 people live in modern cities, and many live in small remote villages where their families have lived for thousands of years. The population of Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city, is 296,000. Juneau (population 32,300) is the State Capital.. We also have a website where you can learn more about Alaska’s history, cultures, geography, animals, and more: http://alaska.gov/kids/ Here are other helpful websites: • For information about visiting Alaska, visit www.travelalaska.com • You can also visit the Alaska State Library on-line at www.lam.alaska.gov • Looking for wildlife info? Go to http://www.wildlife.alaska.gov • Want to know more about Alaska’s Forest and Park Lands? visit www.alaskacenters.gov Did you know? If you place Alaska, with all of its islands, on top of the “continental” United States, it spans from the Great Lakes to Texas, and from Florida to California. At 591,000 square miles, Alaska is larger than Texas, California, and Montana combined. The coastline of Alaska is longer than the coastline of the continental United States. Of Alaska’s 3 million lakes, the largest (Lake Iliamna) is the size of Connecticut. Alaska’s mainland is only 51 miles away from Russia. Alaska has 17 of the 20 highest mountains in North America (Denali is the highest at 20,320 feet).

  • Alaska's Purchase (Seward's Folly)
    Premier Alaska Tours Miscellaneous Information Alaska 2011 Alaska’s Purchase (Seward’s Folly) Russia lost interest in the North pacific and its new World colony rapidly as its traders depleted the once-abundant sea otter. As the St. Petersburg regime turned to economizing and streamlining, operations such as Russian America were deemed expendable. In 1857 the tsar’s brother, the Grand Duke Constantine, urged sale of the region to the United States which, after its defeat of Mexico in 1848 and annexation of California, seemed to dominate the Pacific. The outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861 forestalled talks on the issue, but following the conflict the time seemed right to open negotiations. 1866 Tsar Alexander II instructed his ambassador to the U.S., Bar Edouard deStoeckl, to begin talks with the U.S. Secretary of State William Seward, an enthusiastic advocate of America’s manifest destiny. A selling price of $7.2 million - about two cents an acre- was agreed upon. Seward was eager to buy, and Stoeckl was a wily bargainer, the tsar would have accepted $5 million. The U.S. Senate quickly ratified the treaty on April 4, 1867. The action was accelerated by Stoeckl’s generosity: He distributed large sums of money among Washington’s powerful politicians. No one thought to consult representatives of the Native people, who obviously had staked out the territory long before Russia. American troops relieved Russian forces at the colonial capital of Sitka that October amid vigorous press and congressional debate over the wisdom of the purchase. Angry editorials denounced the acquisition of apparently worthless real estate.

  • Early Maritime Russia and the North Pacific Arc Dianne Meredith Russia Has Always Held an Ambiguous Position in World Geography
    Early Maritime Russia and the North Pacific Arc Dianne Meredith Russia has always held an ambiguous position in world geography. Like most other great powers, Russia spread out from a small, original core area of identity. The Russian-Kievan core was located west of the Ural Mountains. Russia’s earlier history (1240-1480) was deeply colored by a Mongol-Tatar invasion in the thirteenth century. By the time Russia cast off Mongol rule, its worldview had developed to reflect two and one-half centuries of Asiatic rather than European dominance, hence the old cliché, scratch a Russian and you find a Tatar. This was the beginning of Russia’s long search of identity as neither European nor Asian, but Eurasian. Russia has a longer Pacific coastline than any other Asian country, yet a Pacific identity has been difficult to assume, in spite of over four hundred years of exploration (Map 1). Map 1. Geographic atlas of the Russian Empire (1745), digital copy by the Russian State Library. Early Pacific Connections Ancient peoples from what is now present-day Russia had circum-Pacific connections via the North Pacific arc between North America and Asia. Today this arc is separated by a mere fifty-six miles at the Bering Strait, but centuries earlier it was part of a broad subcontinent more than one-thousand miles long. Beringia, as it is now termed, was not fully glaciated during the Pleistocene Ice Age; in fact, there was not any area of land within one hundred miles of the Bering Strait itself that was completely glaciated within the last million years, while for much of that time a broad band of ice to the east covered much of present-day Alaska.

Two expeditions, one led by Captain Vancouver and the other led by Comandante Galiano, arrived at Kinghorn Island in Desolation Sound from the south on June 25, 1792. Their mission was to survey the mainland coast for a passage to the east—a northwest passage. At this stage of their work, they had no idea what lay before them as the insularity of Vancouver Island had yet to be established by Europeans. The following day, all four vessels moved up the Lewis Channel and found a better anchorage in the Teakerne Arm. For seventeen days, small-boat expeditions set out from this safe anchorage to explore the Homfray Channel, Toba Inlet, Pryce Channel, Bute Inlet, and the narrow passages leading westward through which the sea flowed back and forth with astounding velocity.

  • Alaska Purchase and the Klondike Gold Rush
    Alaska Purchase and the Klondike Gold Rush On March 30, 1867, Secretary of State William Seward (who survived an assassination attempt the night President Lincoln was shot) agreed to buy Alaska from Russia for $7.2 million. This is the Warrant which America issued to buy the land. We learn the following information about the check, and the purchase, from the U.S. National Archives: In 1866 the Russian government offered to sell the territory of Alaska to the United States. Secretary of State William H. Seward, enthusiastic about the prospects of American Expansion, negotiated the deal for the Americans. Edouard de Stoeckl, Russian minister to the United States, negotiated for the Russians. On March 30, 1867, the two parties agreed that the United States would pay Russia $7.2 million for the territory of Alaska. For less that 2 cents an acre, the United States acquired nearly 600,000 square miles. Opponents of the Alaska Purchase persisted in calling it “Seward’s Folly” or “Seward’s Icebox” until 1896, when the great Klondike Gold Strike convinced even the harshest critics that Alaska was a valuable addition to American territory. The check for $7.2 million was made payable to the Russian Minister to the United States Edouard de Stoeckl, who negotiated the deal for the Russians. The “great Klondike Gold Strike” began on August 16, 1896 when three men found gold—ultimately, lots of gold—in Rabbit Creek near the town of Dawson (in the Yukon region of Canada). Those three men were Skookum Jim Mason and Tagish Charlie (members of Canada’s “First People”) along with George Carmack (a chap from Seattle).

  • Seward's Folly by Joyce Furstenau
    Seward's Folly By Joyce Furstenau 1 The definition for folly is "acting stupidly or rashly." Many Americans called the purchase of the Alaskan Territory in 1867 "Seward's Folly." The Secretary of State at that time was William H. Seward. He purchased the territory from Russia for the tidy sum of $7,200,000. That may seem like a lot of money, but it bought an area twice the size of Texas. 2 Seward was an expansionist. That means he believed America should expand her holdings, especially in the west. The Civil War had just ended. Russia was having financial problems. It was afraid it that it could lose its North American holdings to the British. The Russian czar thought if he offered the Alaskan territory up for sale, he could start a bidding war between America and Great Britain, but Britain wasn't interested. The treaty was signed at 4 o'clock in the morning on March 30, 1867. For the sum of $7,200,000, which is about 1.9¢ per acre, America became the owner of the Alaskan Territory. 3 At the time, most Americans favored the purchase, but the newspapers published criticism of the decision. It was called a "frozen wilderness." Newspapers said it was too far away from the United States to be regulated. The New York World called it a "sucked orange." Editorials said it contained nothing of value except fur-bearing animals. Horace Greeley wrote, "The country would be not worth taking as a gift.... Unless gold were found in the country..." The territory was called "Seward's folly," "Seward's icebox," and "Andrew Johnson's polar bear garden" by the press.

  • History with an Attitude: Alaska in Modern Russian Patriotic Rhetoric
    Andrei A. Znamenski, Memphis/USA History with an Attitude: Alaska in Modern Russian Patriotic Rhetoric Guys, stop your speculations and read books. One of my re­ cent discoveries is Kremlev. Here is a real history of Russia. One reads his books and wants to beat a head against a wall from the realization of how much we lost due to corruption, treason and the stupidity of our rulers – tsars, general secret­ aries and presidents. What wonderful opportunities we had in the past and how much we have lost!1 A nationalist blogger about the ultra-patriotic popular his­ tory “Russian America: Discovered and Sold” (2005) by Sergei Kremlev In Russian-American relations, Alaska is doomed to remain a literary-political metaphor – some sort of a stylistic figure of speech whose original meaning faded away being re­ placed with an imagined one.2 Writer Vladimir Rokot (2007) On the afternoon of October 18, 1867, a Siberian Line Battalion and a detachment of the US Ninth Infantry faced each other on a central plaza of New Archangel (Figure 1), the capital of Russian America, prepared for the official ceremony of lowering the Russian flag and of raising the Stars and Stripes. This act was to finalize the transfer of Alaska (Figure 2) from Russia to the United States, which bought the territory for $ 7.2 million. At 4 PM, Captain Aleksei Peshchurov gave orders to lower the Russian flag. After this, Brigadier General Lovell Rousseau, a representative of the US Government, ordered the American flag to be raised. Salutes were fired. This ceremony ended a brief seventy-year presence of the Russian Empire in northwestern North America.3 Driven by short-term strategic goals, Russian emperor Alexander II decided to get rid of his overseas posses­ sion, which represented 6 per cent of the Russian Empire territory.

Sager, Department of History Departmental Member Dr. Patrick A. Dunae, Department of History Departmental Member In the years between 1789 and 1792 the shores of what is now British Columbia were opened to European scrutiny by a series of mostly Spanish expeditions. As the coastline was charted and explored by agents of European empires, the Pacific Northwest captured the attention of Europe. In order to carry out these explorations the Spanish relied on what turned out to be an experiment in ‗gentle‘ imperialism that depended on the support of the indigenous ―colonized‖. This thesis examines how the Spanish envisioned their imperial space on the Northwest Coast and particularly how that space was shaped through the exploration of the Salish Sea.

Urrea Master of Arts University of Oregon History Department September 2019 Title: “Our People Scattered:” Violence, Captivity, and Colonialism on the Northwest Coast, 1774-1846” This thesis interrogates the practice, economy, and sociopolitics of slavery and captivity among Indigenous peoples and Euro-American colonizers on the Northwest Coast of North America from 1774-1846. Through the use of secondary and primary source materials, including the private journals of fur traders, oral histories, and anthropological analyses, this project has found that with the advent of the maritime fur trade and its subsequent evolution into a land-based fur trading economy, prolonged interactions between Euro-American agents and Indigenous peoples fundamentally altered the economy and practice of Native slavery on the Northwest Coast.
