Large letter 'ALASKA' with scenes including Auk Lake, Mendenhall Glacier, Alaska Steamer, Mt. McKinley, Eskimo in Skin Omiak, Eskimo Glamour Girl, and a Kodiak Bear.

Juneau is the capital. Alaska is best known as the land of gold, but fabulous fortunes have been made in fish, furs, timber and other precious metals.
