Book Description: The United States' boundaries have expanded over the centuries and at the same time, Americans' concept of their country has grown as well. The nation the world knows today was shaped by centuries of thinkers and events. For example, Alaska America's forty ninth state has a long and rich history. Beginning with the Native people who first made their homes there, the inhabitants have benefited from Alaska's bountiful resources. But when William Seward first purchased Alaska from Russia, Americans thought he was foolish. Who would want all that ice and snow, they wondered. Over the years, Alaska has more than proven her worth. Alaska's gold, fish, and lumber have all contributed to America's economy. Some people wonder, however, if Alaska's greatest natural resource might be her untouched wilderness areas. This issue has become particularly relevant to modern America because of the conflict surrounding the oil pipeline. How should land be used? To whom does it belong? Who should decide? Questions like these have played a major role in shaping the United States and they continue to do so today.
