I Reading: A GOOD BUY
Alaska, which became the forty-ninth state of the United States in 1959, was bought from Russia in 1867 The price paid to the Russian government for this huge piece of land was $7,200,000 Secretary of State Seward arranged the treaty and the purchase Because people in the United States at that time knew little about Alaska, many of them did not approve of purchasing it Some jokingly called Alaska “Seward Folly”
However, Alaska proved to be a wonderful buy Over $450,000,000 in gold has been taken from Alaska since it was bought Alaska streams and rivers are rich in fish, and so many salmon are caught each year in Alaska that it has developed the largest salmon canning industry in the world Alaskan hills have thousands of acres of valuable timber In addition, the area has many fur-bearing animals, such as seals, sea otters, minks, foxes, and beavers
If Mr Seward were alive today, he would be proud of his purchase
