How was the Alaska Gold Rush similar to and different from the California Gold Rush?
Q. I need help with two questions about the Alaska Gold Rush. I just really really don't understand it at all. 1. How was the Alaska Gold Rush similar to and different from the California Gold Rush? 2. What were conditions like for settlers in Alaska? How did they adapt to the new environment? Thanks you guys so much! That's not all of my homework. That's just the two questions out of 15 that I didn't understand. But thank you anyways.

A. Similarities - Both Alaskan Natives and California Natives were attacked, slaughtered and pushed off of their lands by travelers. Differences - Alaska Gold Rush was more significant because there were very few people that left with less than $5,000... some even became millionaires! Also, Alaska's gold is still being mined! In fact, my grandfather and family still run a wealthy gold mine every summer. In California most travelers left with very little more money than they arrived with. However I'm not going to do all your homework! Do some research you'll appreciate American History more! Have a good day!

What industries does texas and alaska have besides oil?
Q. I have seen posts claiming that alaska and texas have the highest per capita income and lowest taxes. If you take out the oil revenues those socialist states confiscate from the oil companies and all consumers who buy their gas, those sates are nothing but barren land. What industries does alaska and texas have that are man-made?

A. Oil is what they call a "common property resource". That means that it belongs to all of us, just like the salmon in the sea and the gold in the ground. Companies are given opportunities and often, incentives, to harvest these resources and to sell them for a profit. But part of the deal is that they have to pay the citizens who own the resource for the privilege of using resources that belong to us all. In addition to the oil industry, Alaska has strong timber, fishing, metal mining, and tourism industries. There are other minor industries, as well. No matter what the average income, there are people in both Alaska and Texas who are very poor. Manufacturing industry is prone to taxes as much as any other industry. As is agriculture, and… [cont.]

How many hours of daylight do different regions in alaska get?

Asked by BananaPropaganda - Wed Jun 7 20:13:12 2006 - - 2 Answers - 2 Comments
A. Northern parts of Alaska have six months of darkness, while the farther south you go, the less darkness. I lived for a year on the northern tip of Baffin Island and the sun set on November 2 and didn't come up again until about February 4. I think that might bre about equivalent to the most northern part of Alaska. This link gives the information you need.

Is it illegal to move to Alaska and just build a cabin in the wilderness without any formal documentation?
Q. There was this guy named Richard Proenneke, in the late 1960's he moved to Alaska. He trekked into the wilderness miles away from civilization and built himself a log Cabin by hand. He lived there for 35 years in peace, alone, in the wilderness without having any interactions with civilization with the exception of a pilot who brought him supplies. I've been told that this is illegal by today's laws and regulations in Alaska - and that you can be fined big time if they catch you doing it. Does anyone know if this is true?

A. If the case you cite was on government land, it doesn't quite add up - homesteading was open in specific areas not just any unsettled area. But if it was private property, it makes sense. It is now illegal, but not because homesteading stopped long ago. Homesteading was a way to obtain government land of specifically offered tracts by "proving out" the land by building a dwelling and bringing in a crop. Rather, "adverse possession" was a way to recognize the "ground-truth" of homestead-like behavior by people who'd lived on land that wasn't theirs. The concept dates back to the middle ages in Europe. If they'd been there 5 years and never been asked to leave, they could take "adverse possession" of the land. Note that they couldn't… [cont.]

Why is there minimal sunlight in Alaska during the winter months?
Q. What EXACTLY happens to cause this? Is unique to Alaska? What other habitable places does this? Exactly how many hours/days of sunlight do Alaska get during the winter?
Asked by TS - Wed Feb 10 14:13:13 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The earth's axis of rotation is tilted. In the summer it is pointing towards the sun and northern regions have very long days. In the winter it is on the exact opposite side of the sun and now tilts away. This causes long nights. The same thing happens in the southern polar regions, but in exactly the opposite order. Christmas comes in the middle of summer in Australia.

A. You are taking on a very big project for Alaska, especially looking for an all inclusive lodge. help me out by narrowing your scope just a touch. What do you mean all inclusive? Are you traveling through the state or are you staying put in the lodge? What is the make up of your group in terms of shared accommodations? There are many facilities that offer lots of activities on property, and in some very remote and gorgeous areas. I would be looking out of the Anchorage bowl to start, possibly the Kenai Peninsula, or in the Matanuska Valley, but again without more specific information in regards to your group dynamic, it is gonna be difficult to to give you recommendations. I have given you a few suggestions, and this by no means an… [cont.]

How can you sell a refrigerator to people in Alaska?
Q. What would you say to people living in Alaska in order to make a refrigerator relevant for them? How would you advertise a refrigerator to them ?

A. You must think Alaskans live in igloo's, and it is always snowing here. And a refrigerator is something not needed at all huh? Well, here in Alaska they have regular stores that sell refrigerators. And we do have summers here with temperatures that reach into the seventies, and sometimes see temps in the eighties mark where I am at, other places some do see eighties normally. I get a kick out of people that think Alaska has snow coming down all year. And people who ask if they need to exchange American money to some other currency, before they go to Alaska. And ones who think the dog sled is the only means of transportation here. And the ones that think all is Eskimo here in Alaska, we have Indians as well here in Alaska. Well you go… [cont.]

How much would alaska be worth today if it were bought?
Q. I was curious about this question when I was thinking about history and this economy, and I was just wondering what Alaska would be worth today. If you could, you don't have to, link a site?

A. Good questions. Considering just the Pogo and Ft Knox gold mines are pulling nearly $12 million per week in gold out of the ground - and they are just two of 3,000 mines in operation... Alaska should be worth quite a bit. They just discovered another huge gold depost north of Fairbanks estimated to hold over $17 Billion in gold at last years prices. Alaska has enough oil to power the whole USA for 120 years, enough natural gas for the whole USA for 60 years, and enough coal for the whole USA 300 years after that. I would hope solar and other alternate energies technologies would be improved by the time these run out. Look at the offical state of Alaska web site for info. Hope this helps.
