Why is Alaska called Seward's Folly?
[President Andrew Johnson]'s Secretary of State, William H. Seward negotiated the sale before he was authorized for the final amount of the agreement. He was initially allowed milion, but he asked the State Department if $? million was okay, and because they did not really care about purchasing Alaska, they basically just said, "Sure, Seward. Whatever...." Seward ended up offering Russia $7.2 million, but had much difficulty in getting Congress to approve and then appropriate the funds of money for Alaska, which was by then being referred to as "Seward's Folly," "Seward's Icebox," and "President Andrew Johnson's polar bear garden," mostly by radical republicans who were hostile towards the President, and towards Seward as Johnson's political ally.

Why was the Alaska purchase called sewards folly?
According to an essay by Stanley Rubenstein published by the Henry George School of Social Science, Russia explored and claimed what is now Alaska during the reign of Peter the Great. Unfortunately it was never profitable for the Russians, so in 1866, Czar Alexander II commissioned his minister to Washington, Baron de Stoeckl, to sell it to the American government. The main reason for the United States' participation in the treaty for Alaska was not economic, but to encourage amicable relations with czarist Russia.

You want to visit kiska or attu island in the aleutians?
Re: Kiska. The only method of travel to Kiska is by charter boat. The entire island is part of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, so it's probably best to let them know of your plans first. Most of the WWII sites are located on the east side near Kiska Harbour. Landing elsewhere can be hazardous and is not recommended. Because many people have visited, much of the island has been looted - removal of artifacts is strictly prohibited, and all artifacts have been catalogued. If you choose to visit, PLEASE practice a "Zero Footprint" approach such that you leave no trace of your visit.
