"The evil that men do lives after
them.
The good is oft inferred with their
bones.',

As a rule it is,-and we often find it
repeated in history-that the man
whose memory we laud and honor does
not "come into his own until the
earth ha sclaimed his dust. The excep-
ton to this historis adage, however, is
forcibly brought to us in the example
Of Alexander Andrevich Baranoff, the
first governor Of Alaska.
In life he. was proudly portrayed be-
far in excess of that enjoyed by others
who, probably, might have earned and
deserved as much. or more. Yet when
the sea rolled over the body Of this
man, it seemed as though the waves,
in whose everlastoing embrace he sank,
sounded in dirge the last plaudit to
his name; while the memory Of others,
who have accomplished far less and
who have died in obscurity, has been
resurrected to glory and fame by the
historian and the ,biographer.y 81 VI
We might say, and truthfullyy too,
that had Baraneff NOT lived, there must
needs have been some other man to
have done what he did But of him We
will not say as Mark Antony said of
Caesar. I'M TIT 7''' 8'
Alexander Baranoff was of obscure
parentage, born at Karapel, Southeast
ern Russia, in 1746; and for many years
served as clerk to merchant in Mos

with his saved earnings he established
himself in the trading business in East
ern Siberia, where he prospered. It
was at this juncture that shelikof
made the acquaintance Of Baranoff as
he was on his way to st. Petersburg
from America, where he had made him
self master Of Kodiak, and had .receiv-

BARANOFF--THE FIRST RULER

tage in the construction of three ships,
the Phoenix, Dolphin and the Olga.
These vessels were about eighty feet
in length, twenty three feet beam, and
fourteen feet deep, having capacity
of about one hundred TONS The ships
were strong and well built; but they
were sent to Okhotsk, Siberia, where
they were fitted with cabins and other
conveniences, and then put into opera
ton, where they performed valuable
and much-needed service It was then
that Baranoff began to receive addi-
tions to his colony; and in August,
1894, he received at st. Paul two hun
dred men, fifty Of whom were carpen-
ters, blacksmiths and craftsmen; al
though many of them, unfortunately,
were convicts. The alter were con-
tinual source Of menace to- his work
and to the advancement of Russian col
onization.
Ever looking toward the south for a
field for colonization and development.
Baranoff located at more central sta
ton, when, in 1900, he founded the post
of Archanged Gabriel, place about
six miles north Of the present site Of
Sitka. There he began the establish
ment of permanent colony, fortifying
and protecting the post against the pro
liability of attack by the natives who
had manifested hostile attitude tow
ard the settlers
During Baranoff's absence from
Archangel in August, 1902, selecting a
time when the garrison was weak, the
Indians made an attack on the post,
looting the storehouses, burning the
buildings, massacreing the defenders of
the post and taking the women and chill
dren-those who were not killed-as
prisoners
While at Kodiak Baranoff received
the news from st. Petersburg of his
decoration at the hand of Alexander I,
and while rejoicing over his fortune, he
learned Of the catastrophe at Archan-
gel, the first actual defeat that had
come to any Of his posts

fame can be attributed to his fortunate
association with others; and it was this
meeting with Shelikoff which proved
to be the initial point OF his great
success.
Shelikoff, with maps Of the country
which he had explored, with tales Of
the wealth of Alaska and with proofs
of his faithful work for Russia, went
to Irutsk, the capital Of eastern Siber-
ia, to communicate through the gov
ernor general with the government at
tales of discord between natives of AL
St. Petersburg, requesting that he be
shown recognition for his services.
It happened about that time that
aska and the traders had reached the
imperial ear; ard it was believed at
st. Petersburg, that Sheikoff, alone,
had preserved peace and equity with the
Indians He was invited to St. Peters
burg, and in audience with the empress,
Catherine III; he was decorated with q
gold medal and was given sword Of
honor.
To further harmony. and concord
with the natives and to advance Rus
81
sian authorityin Alaska, 1T was thought
advisable to give control of the entire
trade of this section of country to q
single. responsible company to which
end, by imperial decree, on September
2S, 1888, the Russian American com
pany was given the exclusive privilege
of trading and hunting in the terri
tory discovered and explored by Shell
koff. A subsidy Of 100000 roublesI was
advanced to be returned to the govern
ment;sin twenty quafpayments with
out interest. {&z st
Two years after the granting Of the
charter Shelik off secured the services
of Baranoff to carry ont his plans. The
year before, however, Baranoff had de-
clined the same offer, preferring to
conduct his own affairs in Eastern 81

van which represented his entire capt.
al and stock, he was glad to come to
Shelikoff, particularly as as his plans
offered new fields for adventure.
Baranof was recognized as man
perfectly fitted for such work. He was
energetic, adventurous, and possessed
of wonderful executive ability, and,
strange to say, the particular trait
which recommended him to his en-
ployers was the grace with which he
allowed his scruples to cause him no
inconvenience. -.
In August of the same year Baran-
off sailed with his expedition, but was
shipwrecked at Unalaska- Taking adj
vantage Of his position, however, he re
NAMED where fate had driven him;
and in two years he had established
trading posts at Cooks Inlet and
Prince of Wales. 1T seemed to have
been Baranoff's arch purpose to instill
into the natives the desire to call
themselves Russian subjects. The
emperor was supposed to be "Great
Chief some where; and, too, he was
supposed to have been very rich one
to have SO much at his command. Tn
the recent testimony taken from the
Chilk at and other tribes, in the Cana
dian boundary question, each native
began: "Our fathers have told us that
they were Russian subject. -
4 Tn 1896 Baranoff founded a colony
On Boring Straits, but he did not pros
per there owing to his lack Of ships,
lack Of men to navigate properly the
few ships he did have, and to the hos
tile attitude of the natives. The neces-
sity became apparent for having q
feet Of cessels; and accordingly a
ship yard was established at Sunday
Bay, Prince William Sound, where ex-
cellent spruce afforded ample building
timber. Iron ore was found and at
tempts were made to smelt it; but it
is supposed that in that failure is
credited. At all events, the iron from

hours, and you will be surprised to
know that the casualties in killed
and wounded were greater there than
at Pea Ridge. It was one of the very
first battles of the war---it was GER
tainly one Of the most heroic. The
exact official losses on our side were
II officers killed, 81 wounded; 221
men killed, 751 wounded, 292 missing.
An aggregate of 1,312-truly a fearful
mortality in little band of 4,300. On
our side was only one general officer,
Brigadier General Lyon; on the con-
federate side were Major General
Sterling Price, Brigadier Generals Nc

nine general officers against one. Our
army was composed of Iowa, Kansas
and Missouri troops, and about 300
that Munchausen romance, about one
southerner whipping five northerners,
was knocked into a cooked hat on
the field of Wilson's Creek, where it
was clearly proved that the reverse
was true. From official and other
! reliable sources I have no hesitancy
in stating that the enemy outnumber-
ed us about five to one-and when |
say the "Johnnies" fought desperately

that we young "Yanks' were not idle.
Men were there who afterwards be-
came famous: Sigel. Solomon, Stur-
gis, Matthias, Heron. Steele, Carr,

and the present general of the army,
John NJ. Schofield.
Lyon, like the rock of Chickamauga,
George H. Thomas, spurned and re-
fused glittering proffers of preferment
from the confederacy. With honor
unsullied and allegiance true, he
stuck to the old flag

He increased his ornaments, muster
