Description
""Our New Alaska: Or The Seward Purchase Vindicated"" is a book written by Charles Hallock in 1886. The book provides a complete account of the purchase of Alaska by the United States from Russia in 1867. Hallock argues that the purchase was not only justified but also a wise decision that would bring great benefits to the United States. He provides a detailed description of the geography, climate, flora, fauna, and resources of Alaska, highlighting its strategic importance as a gateway to the Arctic and a potential source of valuable minerals and fisheries. Hallock also discusses the history and culture of the indigenous peoples of Alaska and their interactions with the Russian and American settlers. He concludes by advocating for the development of Alaska's economy and infrastructure, including the construction of railroads and telegraph lines, the establishment of schools and hospitals, and the promotion of tourism and immigration. Overall, ""Our New Alaska"" is a comprehensive and enthusiastic defense of the Seward Purchase and a call to action for the American people to embrace the opportunities presented by their newest territory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
