Story
Alaska: A History begins by examining the region’s geography and the Native peoples who inhabited it for thousands of years before the first Europeans arrived. The Russians claimed northern North America by right of discovery in 1741. During their occupation of “Russian America”, the region was little more than an outpost for fur hunters and traders. When the czar sold the territory to the United States in 1867, nobody knew what to do with “Seward’s Folly”.

As good as you could expect

It was an interesting read/listen. However it seemed to focus too much on oil and gas influences on the state as well as the lives of famous politicians. A little more adventure in the book would have been nice.
