Statehood: January 3, 1959 Alaska was
purchased in 1867 for $7.2
million dollars. The purchase was
named “Seward’s Folly” because
at the time they felt it was an
outrageous amount to pay for a
frozen waste land. Alaska is the
largest state in the Union. It
is 1/5th the size of the entire
United States. Alaska is twice
the size of Texas. The state of
Rhode Island could fit into
Alaska 425 times. Has the highest
North American Peak, Mt.
McKinley (or Denali) at 20,320
ft above sea level Alaska
accounts for 25% of oil
production in the U.S. The Alaskan Pipeline is 800 miles long, just under half of it is underground, the other runs above ground on supports. The pipeline transports approximately 1 million barrels of oil per day
