Add to basketBeautifully embossed leather with pictorial pastedown! - " The Old West series, published by Time-Life Books, is pretty consistently good. This work, in my mind, is a kind of pair with the work on the Canadians' Old West. Brutal weather; challenging environment. But the human spirit ends up triumphing. Once the Americans purchas…ed Alaska from the Russians, there was little sense of what had been acquired. The volume, at the outset, notes (Page 6): "Americans, even with a century of westward expansion under their belts, found it hard at first to comprehend the large chunk of wilderness they bought from Russia in 1867."-Real pluses for this volume--and others include: terrific photographs of the era, maps, and sidebar discussions on intriguing aspects of Alaska, and so on. One can get a sense of the context by these add ons.-The Russians began establishing a foothold in Alaska in the mid to later 1700s. By the early decades of the 1800s, American traders has begun doing business with the intrepid settlers. Sitka was the first settlement of significance. Fur trading was the key economic activity at the outset. In 1790, Alexander Baranov became the lead person in the Russian colony--and he was the right person for the job. This chapter lays out his methods and his efforts to build the Russian presence. As the 19th century moved on, Russia had more and more financial difficulties. After the Civil War, the United States--with Secretary of State William Seward aggressively moving the initiative--purchased Alaska from the Russians. "Seward's Folly" eventually became attractive--with gold in the late 1800s as a key point.-The book goes on to consider American governance and the development of the economy. There is ample discussion of efforts to explore the interior of the massive territory. The work concludes with Alaska acquiring home rule, when William Howard Taft signed the bill.".
