DESCRIPTION:Real People/Real Stories explores the best in nonfiction 
 history\, biography\, science\, nature\, and the arts.\n\nThis month's 
 read:\n\nThe Last Stand of the Raven Clan: A Story of Imperial Ambition\, 
 Native Resistance and How the Tlingit-Russian War Shaped a Continent\, by 
 Gerald Easter & Mara Vorhees \n\nIn the early 1800s\, Imperial Russia 
 established fur trading outposts in Alaska with plans to extend their 
 control all the way down the west coast of America. Standing in their way 
 were the local indigenous tribes\, who deeply resented this intrusion into 
 their homeland. The situation came to a head at the Battle of Sitka. The 
 Last Stand of the Raven Clan tells the true story of the Tlingit people of 
 southeast Alaska who declared war on the Russian empire\, changing the fate 
 of North America.\n\n \n\n“Indigenous resistance in Alaska was so fierce 
 that it thwarted the Russian empire’s colonial ambitions in North 
 America\, profoundly impacting the continent’s destiny\, according to 
 this gripping and ambitious account. Easter and Vorhees lay out this 
 vigorous history in novelistic prose that immerses the reader in turn of 
 the 19th century life and combat. History buffs will be enthralled.” --
