Here is information about Alaska's statehood and Russia's Occupation.

In 1725 a Russian exploration team was sent by "Peter the Great" to explore the Alaska coastlines. Russia did not have the resources to man a military post or any type of settlement at that time. So in 1859 Russia first offered to sell Alaska to the U.S. However, the U.S. civil war prevented the U.S. from taking action on this offer until 1867. Alaska became a "district" of the U.S. in 1867. Then it became and "organized" territory in 1912. Finally it became a state in January of 1959. The purchases price was $7.2 Million dollars!Joel

William H. Seward purchased Alaska from Russia in 1867 for $7.2 million dollars, approximately 2 cents per acre. (This would be similar to just under $100 million by current standards.) He was the Secretary of State under U.S. president Andrew Johnson at the time.

When the land was first purchased, Americans generally ridiculed Seward for what they perceived to be a complete waste of money. Along with "Seward's Icebox", the purchase of the new territory was also called "Seward's Folly" and "Johnson's Polar Bear Garden". Alaska was thought to be essentially a barren wasteland. However, Alaska proved to be rich in natural resources such as forests and fisheries, as well as oil reserves, and the protestations and ridicule eventually died out.
