alaska



Alaska is a state of The United States of America, located in the Northwestern part of North America. It was first discovered by the Russians in the late 1700's, but Russia never fully colonized it, so in 1867 William H.Seward, the Secretary of State negotiated a talk with the Russians to buy it for $7.2 million. In the 1890's, gold rushes in alsaka brought many settelers in the cold, freezy climate.
