MOVE OVER, TEXAS, and make way for the big-
gest State of all! Discovered and colonized by the
Russians in 1741 and purchased by the United
States in 1867 for $7,200,600, the new-born state
has been petitioning for admission to the Union
since 1916. Final recognition was granted by the
Senate on June 30, 1958. Alaska covers 586,400
square miles, more than twice as many as Texas,
and its coastline exceeds the combined coastlines
of the entire United States.
