The Russian Steamer Politkofsky
A Russian- American Legend

The Russian steamer Politkofsky had witnessed Alaska's historic changes including the transfer to the United States, early fur trading, and the Klondike Gold Rush. Use the Teacher's Resource Manual as a basis for lessons on Alaska history and allow students to travel back to the time of early peoples and pioneers of Alaska on a journey to the 1700's.
