The Russian Steamer Politkofsky
A Russian- American Legend
The Russian steamer Politkofsky had witnessed Alaska's historic changes including the transfer to the United States, early fur trading, and the Klondike Gold
Rush. Use the Teacher's Resource Manual as
a basis for lessons on Alaska history and allow students to travel back
to the time of early peoples and pioneers of Alaska on a journey to the
1700's.
