that is interesting andysmom
so the russians were there to hunt
that was their settlement
then they abandoned it
they were really fur trappers I guess

The fur trade was very lucrative...they went where they thought they could make a good deal of money...I guess, they did hunting for a time, till they got overly greedy, and the sea otters became more and more scarce...
