Alaska had just become a part of the United States (incorporated), here's a tidbit of historic information about it.
The Territory of Alaska or Alaska Territory was an organized incorporated territory of the United States from August 24, 1912, until Alaska was granted statehood on January 3, 1959. The territory was previously Russian America, 1733-1867; the Department of Alaska, 1868–1884; and the District of Alaska, 1884–1912.
