The book explores the rich history intertwined with the establishment of the Russian American Company and the interactions between the Russian settlers and the Native Thlingit people. The opening of the book vividly describes the breathtaking beauty of Sitka, surrounded by mountains and ocean, and hints at its historical importance as a center for trade and cultural exchange. It recounts the turbulent early encounters when Russian explorers first landed in the region and details the early attempts at establishing a settlement, including the challenges faced from both environmental factors and native resistance. This introduction sets the stage for a deep exploration of the colony's development, its economic activities centered around the fur trade, and the cultural interminglings that occurred throughout its early years.
