True, but I think that the oil and gold has sort of payed the US back for anything it spent on the land. But you're definetly right. When was Alaska bought from the Russians, do you know? (Obviously I've forgotten....  ) |

The U.S. bought Alaska from Russia in October 1867 for 7.2 million dollars, or two cents per acre.
