Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, a pioneering work of its time, assesses the prospects of the region we know now as Alaska, following its purchase by the United States in 1867. Its author, an explorer and travel writer, gives a unique historical perspective on the economic significance of Alaska's natural resources. The author connects the progress of Alaska to larger trends in human history, especially the historical westward movement of industry and commerce, and speculates on the possible future of the region as a major commercial hub. Through keen observation and understanding of natural processes, the author predicted the vast economic potential of Alaska's gold, silver, copper, and coal, as well as its fisheries and timber. The book remains significant for its insights into the relationship between natural environment and human progress, and its foresight regarding the central role of Alaska in the Pacific commercial economy.
