The listing, Alaska has ended.
This small (64 pages) hardcover book was purchased at a library sale after it was withdrawn from circulation. Although copyrighted in 2003, this book is full of interesting and informative information about the 49th state to join the Union. In it you can visit the Last Frontier State, where tall mountains and frozen plains spread across the landscape. Alaska's rich history is filled with North America's first peoples, Russian fur traders, gold rushes, and conflicts over wilderness areas. Once thought of as a frozen wasteland, Alaska is now known as a leading producer of oil, lumber, and fish products. This small hardcover book would make a great addition to any library, and would be especially helpful for families with young children whom are learning about the great United States of America!
