Excerpt from Alaska: The Country and Its Inhabitants
It is indeed surprising that so little should be known about a country we have had in our possession for the last eighteen years, and which has attracted more or less attention ever since the time of Russia's great ruler. Peter the Great, who added Russian America to his then wonderfully organized and immense empire.
Many are the myths and marvels connected, directly or indirectly, with the history of the discovery of this northern land. After the straits of Magellan were discovered by the intrepid navigator whose name they bear, and taken possession of bv the Spaniards, in whose service the illustrious Portuguese seaman was engaged, the united efforts of rival nations were directed towards finding a passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific, in the northern part of the continent of North America.
