Talk:Russian-American Company

message: For the interest of anyone contributing to this page, I have copied into a sandbox page a passage in the British Columbia Chronicle 1778-1846 Adventures by Sea and Land by Helen B. and G.P.V. Akrigg a few pages concerning the HBC-RAC agreement of 1839 in regard to the RAC leasing the mainland of the Panhandle to the HBC in return for a supply of foodstuffs and other considerations.  Please see the relevant section on my BC & Pacific Northwest resources sandbox.Skookum1 23:33, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

message: This pdf is from the NY Times archives online and is a Department of State document describing the known fur posts of the Russian American Company".  Seems useful in terms of expanding/adding/creating articles and a :Category:Russian-American Company posts category.Skookum1 (talk) 17:13, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: 1867 ''NY Times'' article on fur posts

message: The Russian name (Под высочаиший Его Императорского Величества Покровительство Российский-Американский Компаний) is the pure rubbish. Almost like "All your base are belong to us".
Do anyone have the cited book "The Russian-American Company" of Richard A.Pierce (1984) for fact checking?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.114.236.145 (talk) 06:00, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

message: The flag illustrated by nuclearvacum is incorrect, or at least has no basis in historic reference.
A better illustration would be the original painting of the flag from the decree of 1806 establishing the flag by Imperial decree:
An image can be found in a fairly exhaustive article on the flag's history  at:http://www.fortrossinterpretive.org/.../History%20of%20the%20RAC%20flag%20coloroptimized.pdf -

message: Here to do some other fixes, and while reading realized there's no mention of the initial destruction of Sitka by the Tlingit in ... 1802?  Maybe I missed it, but it's a "signal event" and should be here for sure.Skookum1 (talk) 09:39, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Battle of Sitka]]? 

message: :A later lease to the Hudson's Bay Company of the southeastern sector of what is now the Alaska Panhandle, as far north as 56° 30' N, followed in 1838 as part of a damages settlement due to treaty violations by the Company's governor, Baron Ferdinand von Wrangel, in 1833.
:Pretty sure yesterday I read in one of the things I was browsing that the lease, at least in its original form, when to Icy Strait/Cross Sound... the 56-30 line (roughly the mouth of the Stikine) echoes the Canning/Bagot reading of the 1825 treaty where the marine boundary should have gone, according to the wording of the treaty, north to 56 before hitting the mainland, instead Americans maintained it went east even though the head of the Portland Canal is nowhere near 56 N.  I was looking for the lease itself, but only came across passing mentions of its terms; I was hoping to find the contract itself; you'd think it would be out there somewhere on-line.  Probably in BC Archives but only indexed, not online...under what name who knows?  Or in HBC Archives in Winnipeg, maybe.Skookum1 (talk) 09:44, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  "the lease" 

message: Wondering about the various '-ised' endings I'm seeing; even the "British" sources here (British Columbian that is) use the North American -ized......and certainly the American cites do.  Not sure about any translated versions of the Russian materials, such as there are.  No reason to use  template here, but its US equivalent seems appropriate, rather than so-called "global usage" UK English.Skookum1 (talk) 09:45, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  British spelling?? 

message: Is this flag-map historical? It is in Wikimedia Commons from 2012, but now only 3 userboxes use it:
* :ru:user:Alex1986rus, from 29 August 2015
* :ru:user:Илья Драконов, from 26 August 2015
* :uk:user:Илья Драконов, today, 09:42
Perhaps, it be useful for this article? Or, on contrary, it is globally harmful?
