[//Bayleigh Pendleton Lily Hutchinson Jennie Ta//] Group 2: Alaska offered a territory that was two times the size of Texas. It was sold for approximately 2 cents per acre. Gold was also found in the 1890's, with oil coming in the early 1900s. Gold, oil, hunting, snow, fish, and 3 million lakes. The locals thought William H. Seward was doing the wrong thing. They started to call Alaska “Sewards' Folly” & “Sewards' Ice Box.” But when gold and oil were found, locals started to believe Seward and they were happy that he had purchased the land. William H. Seward. We most use it for the same things, like gold and oil. But we've expanded to hunting, ice fishing, and a new sight with all of it's lakes.
