Alec-
I'm afraid I didn't even realize there was a battle. My
knowledge of much of global history is amazingly limited.
I did, however, take 3 years of Russian language in junior
high and high school. It's been fun sounding out the words
on posters visible in magazines and tv news. Quite a number
of them are understandable due to there relation to English
words.
My area of interest is in Native American history. Northwest
coast trading between Russians and Natives ended before this
particular battle!
