Settlers were drawn to Alaska primarily due to the promise of natural resources, particularly during the gold rushes of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The discovery of gold in places like Bonanza Creek in 1896 spurred a massive influx of prospectors and settlers seeking wealth and opportunity. Additionally, the potential for fishing, fur trading, and later oil extraction attracted those looking for new livelihoods. The allure of adventure and the chance to explore uncharted territories also motivated many to migrate northward.
