Large purchase of 1867 (6)

I believe the answer is:

alaska

(Other definitions for alaska that I've seen before include "Palin was the recent governor here" , "cold place" , "Forty-ninth US state" , "Land bought by the USA from Russia in 1867" , "Largest state of the USA" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
