When the administration of President Andrew Johnson acquired Alaska from Russia in 1867 for 7,200,000, the transaction was referred to derisively by many as Seward s Folly, after Secretary of State William Seward, who negotiated the deal. Although a few pleas for rational exploration and development, and for fair treatment of native peoples, appeared in the territory s early years (e.g., Kane, 1868), Alaska remained a largely unexplored and unexploited backwater until the Klondike gold strike of 1898 brought thousands of prospectors and support personnel north.
