ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT EARLY COVERS FROM ALASKA AND A UNIQUE ITEM.
In 1869, the "U.S.S Mohican" carried an astronomical surveying party through Bering Strait into the
arctic.
This letter was written in Iliuliuk (Bay), Unalaska which is located off Unalaska Island in the Aleutian Islands off mainland Alaska. On October 18, 1867, the United States purchased Alaska, which made Unalaska part of the U.S.
territory.
The Aleut (Unangan) people have lived on Unalaska Island for thousands of years. The Unangan, who were the first to inhabit the island of Unalaska, named it "Ounalashka", meaning "near the peninsula". (Image1) (Image2)
