He left the swamps of the Susquehanna behind for the rugged beautyand deadly challengesof this frozen frontier. But the empire-hungry Russians had already established a foothold in Sitka and they wouldnt give it up without a fierce and treacherous struggle that stretched from San Francisco to the palaces of St. Petersburg.
