This volume contains information about the Indian River and Russian construction activities in the vicinity of Novo-Arkhangel’sk which was found in the “Records of the Russian-American Company, Correspondence of the Governors General.” This volume is an outgrowth of a request from Sitka National Historical Park that the archival collection known as the “Records of the Russian-American Company, Correspondence of the Governors General,” be searched for information on the Indian River area and specifically the site of the Tlingit fort captured by the Russians in the 1804 “Battle of Sitka.” The study accomplished its purpose. It extracted from the Russian-American Company Records collection not only all mentions of the Indian River, but all substantive mentions of Russian construction activities in the vicinity of Novo-Arkhangel’sk. It is hoped that this volume will be useful as one more resource for current and future archeologists and historians as they piece together the story of the capital of Russian America.
