RUSSIAN GUN TO BE PLACED ON

COOK INLET YEARS AGO
I -
Alaska was discovered about a cen
tury and a quarter afro by Russian
hunters. Sailing east from the coast
of Siberia they first cam* upon the
Aleutian Archipelago, which the.' took
possession of in the name of the Czar.
Having established themselves on
these islands, and having thoroughly
subjugated, and partially christianized
the docile natives, they pushed far
ther east, found and explored the ex
tensive coast line of the mainland,
and after many hard fights with the
warlike tribes of those regions, estab
lished ports in Bering sea and the No.
Pacific. The Russian government
granted to these early adventurers
special rights in regard to the terri
tory which they had discovered for
the Crown.
Here and there penal colonies were
established and forts erected in which
cannon were placed at prominent
points. One such colony was estab
lished on Cook Inlet, and until a quar
ter of a century ago, relics of the col
ony and fort were still standing. Am
ong these were a number of Russian
cannon, one of which was possessed
by a Mr. Whorf. He brought it in to
Seward many years ago and turned i:
over to a local organization. About
35 years ago the cannon came into
the hands of Igloo No. 9. Pioneers of
Alaska. For awhile the cannon was
mounted and placed on exhibition
down by the Alaska Railroad depot
but of more recent years, it disappear
ed from the sight of man.
The cannon, however, has been res
urrected and a permanent resting
place, of concrete, has been built for
it in Nile Park where all may gaze
upon the relic of old. about which his
tory has been made, and reflect on
those stirring days. The cannon mea
sures four feet in length and weighs
about 750 pounds and is. naturally, of
the muzzle-loading type. The rnt
carriage has been painted atop of the
base and within a few days the can
non will be mounted.
