Picture Progress v2 #6

The issue presents a comprehensive illustrated overview of Alaska titled "The Great Land." It begins with the 1880 gold discovery along a river bank, detailing how news of the strike spread and sparked a gold rush, particularly along the Yukon River. The story then explores Alaska's geography and diverse climates, highlighting the Panhandle region with its warmer weather, narrow geography, and distinctive totem poles carved by Alaskan Indians. Finally, it covers the 1942 Japanese invasion of the Aleutian Islands and the subsequent American military response that drove the Japanese from Alaskan territory.
