    While it brought about a new mode of transportation and increased the overall population of the west, it also caused the desertion of previous towns and the increase racial discrimination. Evidently, the gold rush and western settlement did not have all good effects, but it also did not have all bad effects. One good effect that came from it though was the spirit of the gold rush that did not end with the Civil War. This audacious forty-niner spirit extended well into the twentieth century and while it was not used for gold hunting, it was used to mine the rich veins of science and technology. And even today, this spirit remains, just used in different…

At Point Barrow the sun remains above the horizon for 84 consecutive days (Alaska 241). Alaska is a very odd state due to its distance away from the equator making the sun hit it at different times of the year. Alaska is a great place to visit and has many things to look at.…
