Once mocked as Seward’s Icebox, Alaska was seen as a frozen wasteland with little value. But behind the icy façade lay untold riches and strategic power. This compelling journey traces the dramatic 1867 purchase from Russia, the discovery of gold and oil, and Alaska’s transformation into a vital U.S. stronghold. From skeptics to statehood, uncover how America’s northern frontier rose from ridicule to remarkable relevance on the world stage.
