America purchases Alaska from Russia...



Item # 706620

March 31, 1867

NEW YORK TIMES, March 31, 1867  Page 4 contains a very historic, yet somewhat inconspicuous, report headed: "A Large Territorial Acquisition" beginning: "It is announced that, by treaty with Russia, our government has acquired possession of the large Arctic domain known as Russian America...Its value, however, as a national acquisition is not likely to be measured by any theory of territorial expansion..." with much more.
Eight pages, nice condition.
