Far too little has been written about Russia Alaska, a colony founded for economic purposes that was never truly inhabited by Russians other than employees of the Russian American Company, itself established to supply the fur trade. And even what has been written tends to center on activities along the Panhandle, where the company’s power was based. Its operations along the western coast of Alaska are largely overlooked by historians and novelists alike. This is the mostly untraveled void of literary opportunity that Fairbanks author Kris Farmen has stepped into with his trilogy of simultaneously published books, “Seasons of Want and Plenty.”
