Best Answer

It was a "Secretary of State" and his name was William Henry Seward. It was known as "Seward's Folly" at the time because they thought the state was a large frozen wasteland. We spend 7.2 million on the land, roughly 2 cents an acre. So this states that Alaska really once was Russia's.
