The vivid, personal accounts of Baroness Elizabeth von Wrangell on an eighteen-month odyssey through Russia, Siberia, and across the North Pacific to the Russian-American colonies. In Sitka, her husband, naval captain and former Arctic explorer Baron Ferdinand (Petrovich) von Wrangell, began his five-year term as governor of the Russian colonies and chief manager of the Russian-American Company holdings in North America. For the first time, and from a unique woman's point of view, Elizabeth reveals insightful and historically significant detail about the political, socioeconomic, and very human dimensions of that formative era in the history of the north.
