Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Construction History of Sitka, Alaska, as Documented in the Records of the Russian-American Company: Prepared for Sitka National Historical Park The documents selected for this volume are translated in full, even though they contain much that is extraneous to the topic at hand. Consequently, in addition to a construction history, they provide glimpses of many aspects of everyday life in novo-arkhangel'sk and the colonies. Unfortunately, to keep this project to a manageable size, I had to skip over a great number of equally interesting letters concerning novo-arkhangel'sk that did not happen to mention construction or land use. I have tried to make the translations as readable as possible while remaining true to the nature of the material. The reader should bear in mind that this is formal business and bureaucratic correspondence, attentive to polite phrasing and cognizant of distinctions in rank and class. It was also written at a time when. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
