About This Item
Juneau, 1903. 4pp. Folio. Chipped and browned at edges. Two leaves separated at fold. Good. Daily Alaskan newspaper, containing news of William Sulzer's speech in support of the territory, an idyllic word-portrait of prospecting, and numerous advertisements. Sulzer, a Democratic Congressman from New York, argues that Alaska deserves to be a full-fledged territory, rather than just a district, owing to its beauty and vast natural resources. Sulzer would later serve as New York's governor and hold the record as the only governor of that state to be impeached; his brother, Charles, was an Alaskan politician. Alaska would not become a territory until 1912.
