When Johan Furuhjelm was offered the governorship of Russian America in 1858, the 37-year-old Finnish officer found himself in a quandary. He needed a wife to support him in the new post. Anna von Schoultz was chosen. The letters that she wrote from Siberia make up the present book and provide the reader with a fascinating portrait of private and public life in Alaska.
