Description
Alaska: A History provides a full chronological survey of the region's and state's history, including the Russian period; the territory's painfully attenuated quest for statehood; 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.-- Back cover.
