Title: Re: Why Krags were on Alaska's Fur Seal Islands

The revenue, from just the fur seal industry of the Pribilof Islands, paid-off the purchase price of Alaska in about a dozen years.

A Good Deal! ..... But, a grotesque industry and cruel exploitation of wildlife. It is depressing to read about it.
