Interesting history from a person that witnessed the changing of the guard from Russia to USA for the territory of Alaska.
Anyone know where one could find the contract between Russia and USA. $123,146,620 seems like a lot of money for a nation that just went through a civil war. Do we still owe this money to Russia? Is there a copy of this treaty?
