"Seward's Folly" Once owned by Russia, Alaska was bought in 1867, a purchase led by Secretary of State William H. Seward. Many of the other states thought that the price of Alaska was too high. However, Seward was stubborn and fought long and hard to get Congress to approve of the money for purchase. Some of Seward's critics referred to his fight as "Seward’s Folly". "Seward's Ice Box" Other Alaska state nicknames with similar references to Alaska's merciless coldness are "Icebergia", "Polaria", and "Walrussia". The president of the period, Andrew Johnson, wasn’t spared by the critics during the purchase either: "Johnson's Polar Bear Garden" was another nickname.
