description: This magnificent tale of passion, power and intrigue records the life and adventures of Nikolai Rezanov, one of the great enigmas of national history. Beginning at the court of Catherine the Great, moving to Siberia, Japan, Alaska, then California - Rezanov's story becomes a superb drama as it climaxes in his celebrated love affair with a Spanish beauty at San Francisco in 1806. Here is evidence, drawn for Russian sources, that in lovely Conchita Arguello, Rezanov envisioned an empire that would extend from Mexico to the Arctic. 368 pages.
