In 1867 the United States purchased the land we know as "Alaska" from Russia for a total of $7.2 million - just about 2 cents an acre.
Eventually, in 1959 Alaska officially became the 49th State - and now, over 3 million visitors make the journey to Alaska each year. Alaska is typically split into 5 different regions : the Far North, the Interior, the Southwest, Southcentral, and Southeast. |
