It represents thorough, punctilious scholarship that reflects both multicultural and multidisciplinary perspectives. Even readers who do not study Northwest Coast traditions should examine it as a model for ethnohistorical presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e * Journal of Folklore Research *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eA quarter-century in the making, it is well worth the wait . . . .

Not only is this book a bi-cultural interpretation of two historical events, it is also filled with insights, explanations, and information that the rest of us, as anthropologists and historians, must stand back and admire.\u003c\/p\u003e * Arctic *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eA richly detailed book comprised of Tlingit oral narratives, Russian manuscripts and other historic documents that took more than 20 years to complete.\u003c\/p\u003e * Juneau Empire *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe color plates and figures are beautiful and the coverage is comprehensive, making this a model record of motivations, attitudes, and perceptions as well as events.\u003c\/p\u003e * Book News *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresents documents setting out works of Tlingit oral history in parallel with Russian and other documents referring to the same events, the two 'battles' of Sitka that took place in 1802 and 1804 . . . a most impressive work of scholarship.\u003c\/p\u003e * Polar Record *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRussians in Tlingit America: New Perspectives on the Baranov Era, 1792-1818\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection I -- The Prelude: First Encounters of Russians and Tlingits\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection II -- The First Battle Encounter: Prince William Sound, 1792\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection III -- The First Settlement in Tlingit Territory: Yakutat, 1796\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection IV -- The Russian Push into Southeast Alaska before 1799\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection V -- The Founding of Old Sitka, 1799\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection VI - The Battle of 1802 at Old Sitka\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection VII - Baranov Returns: The Battle of 1804 at Indian River\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection VIII - And Life Goes On: 1805-186, 1818\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection IX - Bilingual Texts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppendixes\u003cbr\u003e Gazetteer\u003cbr\u003e Glossary\u003cbr\u003e References\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003cbr\u003e Color Plates\u003cbr\u003e Maps and Charts\u003cbr\u003e Figures\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Washington Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49524696219991,"sku":"9780295986012","price":54.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780295986012.jpg?v=1731857788","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/anooshi-lingit-aani-ka-russians-in-tlingit-america-9780295986012","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
