Question: The Ten Thousand Smokes feature similar to Naktong Vallis is in a region purchased from Russia by a president who served in which military organisation?

the gadsden purchase (known in mexico as spanish: venta de la mesilla, ``sale of la mesilla '') is a 29,670 - square - mile (76,800 km) region of present - day southern arizona and southwestern new mexico that the united states purchased via a treaty signed on december 30, 1853, by james gadsden, u.s. ambassador to mexico at that time. the u.s. senate voted in favor of ratifying it with amendments on april 25, 1854, and then transmitted it to 14th president franklin pierce. mexico's government and its general congress or congress of the union took final approval action on june 8, 1854. the purchase was the last substantial territorial acquisition in the contiguous united states. the u.s. sought the land as a better route for the construction of the southern transcontinental railway line, and the financially - strapped government of antonio lópez de santa anna agreed to the sale, which netted mexico $10 million (equivalent to $270 million in 2017). after the devastating loss of mexican territory to the u.s. in the mexican -- american war (1846 -- 48) and the continued filibustering by u.s. citizens, santa anna may have calculated it was better to yield territory by treaty and receive payment rather than have the territory simply seized by the u.s. <SEP> Lafayette Curry Baker (October 13, 1826 – July 3, 1868) was a United States investigator and spy, serving the Union Army, during the American Civil War and under Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson. <SEP> Following the eruption, thousands of fumaroles vented steam from the ash. The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes is a valley within Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska which is filled with ash flow from the eruption of Novarupta on June 6–8, 1912. Robert F. Griggs, who explored the volcano's aftermath for the National Geographic Society in 1916, gave the valley its name, saying that "the whole valley as far as the eye could reach was full of hundreds, no thousands—literally, tens of thousands—of smokes curling up from its fissured floor." <SEP> Naktong Vallis is an ancient river valley in the Arabia quadrangle of Mars, located at 5.3 degrees north latitude and 327.1 degrees west longitude. It is 670 km long and was named after the Nakdong River in Korea. <SEP> The Alaska Purchase (Russian: Продажа Аляски, tr. Prodazha Alyaski) was the United States' acquisition of Alaska from the Russian Empire on March 30, 1867, by a treaty ratified by the United States Senate, and signed by president Andrew Johnson. <SEP> yongzheng also inherited diplomatic and strategic problems. a team made up entirely of manchus drew up the treaty of kyakhta (1727) to solidify the diplomatic understanding with russia. in exchange for territory and trading rights, the qing would have a free hand dealing with the situation in mongolia. yongzheng then turned to that situation, where the zunghars threatened to re-emerge, and to the southwest, where local miao chieftains resisted qing expansion. these campaigns drained the treasury but established the emperor's control of the military and military finance.
