Alaska: A History of the 49th StateUniversity of Oklahoma Press, 1987 - 368 pàgines The largest by far of the fifty states, Alaska is also the one of greatest mystery and diversity.

Slotnick show in this revised and updated edition of their book, the history and development of Alaska's peoples has matched the diversity of its landscapes and seascapes. |
