Description
In 1860, the Russian government came to the decision it was too expensive to defend the colony of Alaska, and so decided to sell it to the United States. The treaty became official on June, 20, 1867. These steps lead to the summit of Castle Hill, where, on the morning of October 10, 1867, the transfer occurred. The site is now known as the Baranof Castle State Historic Site in Sitka, AK.
