Seward, named in honor of William H Seward, whose conviction and persistence resulted in the purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867, for the relatively trifling sum of $7,200,000.00, presents a magnificent setting at the northern end of the almost land-locked Resurrection bay.... As the steamer remains in Seward for twelve to fourteen hours, we who are seeking diversion will find hiking, golfing, fishing or the auto ride to Kenai Lake delightful pastimes.
