"This book is a milestone in Alaska history, a rare product of deep and extensive scholarship with a critical approach that makes sense of the detail."—Rebecca Poulson, Alaska History

"The diligence and depth of Grinëv's study makes it a welcome addition to Russian America's comparatively thin historiography."—Ian Halter, Western Historical Quarterly

Praise for the previous volumes of Russian Colonization of Alaska:

“[Andrei V. Grinëv] demonstrates once again why he is considered one of the world’s foremost experts on the Russian period of Alaska’s history.”—Katherine L. Arndt, Russian Review

There has not been anything published in Russian or English (or any other language) that could compare with it in scope and theoretical sophistication.”—Sergei Kan, author of Memory Eternal: Tlingit Culture and Russian Orthodox Christianity through Two Centuries

“Essential reading for students of the history of Russian America and Alaska generally. [These books] will be a fundamental reference for years to come, as will likely be the highly anticipated third volume.”—Stephen Haycox, Alaska History

“A welcome addition to the growing body of recent literature in English on Alaska under Russian control, or ‘Russian America.’”—Chia Yin Hsu, Pacific Historical Review

“Contains much information of interest to Western scholars on the Russian approach to colonization.”—Joseph Dane Hartgrove, Journal of American History

“A stimulating, thorough, and quite readable account of the history of early Russian America.”—Dennis Reinhartz, Terrae Incognitae
