Bought for about two cents an acre and mocked for a generation, and then the gold turned up. Carpenter travels the Alaska of glaciers, salmon canneries, mining camps and coastal steamers, reporting what the territory actually produced and what it cost to get it out, in a country still deciding whether the joke had been on Russia.
