Description:Excerpt from A Descriptive Reading on Alaska: Illustrated by Twelve Lantern Slides The rich territory of Alaska, which Russia virtually presented as a gift to this country in 1867, when it was transferred to the United States for in gold, made our National domain about one-sixth larger than it was prior to that time. Its distance from the greater part of our country has made it look small, but a thought as to its more than half a million square miles of territory, with its lofty mountains and great rivers, its miles of coast, and its island chain stretching out more than a thousand miles toward the Asiatic coast, must quickly dispel such an idea, while even but a casual consideration of the vast advantages which will accrue to this country when its universal resources are more fully developed must bring the conviction that the overture of Secretary Seward which brought into our hands such a treasure was one of the wisest acts in that great statesman's career.
