Publisher's Summary:
Alaska: A History begins by examining the regions geography and the Native peoples who inhabited it for thousands of years before the first Europeans arrived. The Russians claimed northern North America by right of discovery in 1741. During their occupation of Russian America, the region was little more than an outpost for fur hunters and traders. When the czar sold the territory to the United States in 1867, nobody knew what to do with Sewards Folly.
Mainland America paid little attention to the new acquisition until a rush of gold seekers flooded into the Yukon Territory. In 1906 Congress granted Alaska Territory a voteless delegate and in 1912 gave it a territorial legislature. Not until 1959, however, was Alaskas long-sought goal of statehood realized. During World War II, Alaskas place along the great circle route from the United States to Asia firmly established its military importance, which was underscored during the Cold War. Then, the discovery of huge oil and natural gas deposits gave a measure of economic security to the state.
Alaska: A History provides a full chronological survey of the regions and states history.

but it looks like it's going to be a great reference and read ...
This book is huge! More than I expected and packed with info. Just to the "thumbing through it" point, but it looks like it's going to be a great reference and read book. At the same time, I got the Audible Book "Alaska by James Michener" and I'm having a great time listening to it. I should know just about everything I need to by the time we board the cruise ship to Alaska.
Easy to read.
Easy to read history of Alaska. I enjoyed the book.

If you have any interest, school, travel or an inqusitive mind, regarding the Last Frontier this a book to read.
