Including Russian historical documents, travelers’ accounts of informal interactions between the formerly warring parties after the battles, and Dr. W. Schuhmacher’s work on the role played by British and American skippers, this book inquires into and provides some answer to the fundamental question, Who owns history? Photographs of objects now in Russian and American museums enrich the book, along with portraits of key historical figures and eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century charts of Tlingit territory. Also included is the journal of Dmitrii Tarkhanov, a gazetteer, a glossary, Tlingit and Russian name lists, and an index.
