Description
- Overview:
- This unit will focus on one very small, but significant area of Alaska: The capitol city of Juneau. Population 32,000, and the only land-locked capitol in the United States. The only way a person can get to Juneau is by boat or plane. No roads lead to Juneau!
Juneau's rich history starts with the rich resources of fur, timber and fish. Then the discovery of gold that started one of the largest gold rush migrations in North America.
Juneau continues to be a central community in Southeast Alaska providing jobs, resources and services to people living within several hundred miles.
