Download or read book Alaska written by Claus M. Naske and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2014-10-22 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The largest by far of the fifty states, Alaska is also the state of greatest mystery and diversity. And, as Claus-M. Naske and Herman E. Slotnick show in this comprehensive survey, the history of Alaska’s peoples and the development of its economy have matched the diversity of its land- and seascapes. Alaska: A History begins by examining the region’s 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 “Seward’s 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 Alaska’s long-sought goal of statehood realized. During World War II, Alaska’s place along the great circle route from the United States to Asia firmly established its military importance, which was underscored during the Cold War. The developing military garrison brought federal money and many new residents. 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 region’s and state’s history, including the precedent-setting Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971, which compensated Native Americans for their losses; the effect of the oil industry and the trans-Alaska pipeline on the economy; the Exxon Valdez oil spill; and Alaska politics through the early 2000s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is meant to give a broad overview of the biggest events about the America�admittedly with a few more trivial but very interesting tidbits along the way�in a way that delivers truth without getting into debate about bias. History can get dry, so humor is a great alleviator, but quite frankly, not all of it is very funny. Some of it is hard to hear, and some of it sparks debate, sometimes because of one�s interpretation and sometimes because the version we learned hasn�t been unlearned, and the new, not as pleasant information might come as a surprise.In this book, you�ll find 1,000 funny, weird, random, and little known facts about the United States of America. From its Constitution to its molasses explosion, from its presidents' false teeth to its cow-to-resident ratios, the U.S. is full of interesting facts. Did you know that it�s illegal to view a moose from an airplane in Alaska? Or that you can get a unicorn hunting license in Michigan?Via this book, we hope you could learn something and you take it with you. Nothing�s perfect, and some things are further from it than others, but truth is the only way to make sure one gets closer and closer to it. We hope you read this book with interest and sometimes maybe a little anger (though not at us), sometimes a lot of laughter, and you learn something about the United States, about your history, and about how even the things you love most in the world aren�t perfect and really don�t have to be, as long as you�re willing to help get them a little closer.We hope you and your friends enjoy this book!
