Alaska by Jón Ólafsson
"Alaska" by Jón Ólafsson is a pamphlet published in 1875. It proposes establishing an Icelandic colony in Alaska and includes a delegation report envisioning an ambitious future. The author predicts that ten thousand Icelandic settlers could grow to one hundred million within centuries, spreading across North America and eventually replacing English with Icelandic. The pamphlet details Alaska's landscape and climate while expressing strong opinions about language and colonization. (This is an automatically
