Whаt pаttern оf оrgаnizatiоn is used to write this passage? Alaska’s road to statehood involved a series of “owners.” The original people to live in the huge state of Alaska were Eskimos, Aleuts (natives of the Aleutian Islands, which lie off of Alaska), and Indians. In 1731, a Russian explorer landed on the Alaskan coast. Russia claimed that land as her own, and in years that followed, many Russians were involved in exploring the coast and trading with the Alaskan natives. The United States held discussions with Russia about purchasing Alaska as early as 1859, but the deal was put off by the American Civil War. In 1867, the U.S. purchased the Alaskan territory for $7.2 million. The territory became the forty-ninth state in 1959.
