"Like other early colonial settlements, the colony at Ross has inherent interest as a multiethnic entrepot where people of widely differing cultural traditions came into contact and were transformed. This volume focuses on one of several distinct neighborhoods within the Ross Colony, a pluralistic mercantile commhnity comprising Russians, Nativa Alaskans, Native Hawaiians, Native Californians and Creoles."

From: T.M. van Bueren 2000 review of "The Archaeology and Ethnohistory of Fort Ross, California."
