It is believed that the Eskimos moved there from Mongolia or Siberia, probably crossing Bering Strait, named for Vitus Bering, the Danish sea captain who discovered Alaska on his voyage for Russia in 1741. The Eskimos are the s

Russian fur traders established settlements but, by the time Alaska was sold to the United States, most of the traders had departed.5In 1896 gold was discovered near the Klondike River in Canada just across the Alaskan border. Thousands of Americans rushed to the re

Partly because the stream channels are more or less filled with material washed down from the uplands, and partly because storm runoff has increased, the channels are to
