11. State History • In 1867 the United states secretary of State William H. Seward arranged for the United States to buy Alaska from Russia for 2 cents per acre. The total amount we paid was $7.2million dolars. Back then people called it Sewards Folly. Boy were they wrong! In the 1890s gold rushes brought thousands of people to Alaska. Alaska became a state in 1959. In 1964 oil was discovered. With oil and gold, Alaska was a great a purchase. Besides, look at all the cool natural resources we have! We are one great state!

14. Click Here to Hear Our State Song Eight stars of gold on a field of blue,Alaska's flag, may it mean to you,The blue of the sea, the evening sky,The mountain lakes and the flowers nearby,The gold of the early sourdough's dreams,The precious gold of the hills and streams,The brilliant stars in the northern sky,The "Bear," the "Dipper," and shining high,The great North Star with its steady light,O'er land and sea a beacon bright,Alaska's flag to Alaskans dear,The simple flag of a last frontier.
