For almost a hundred years, Sitka was the capital of Alaska, initially under the Russians and later as part of the US after they bought the land for 2 cents an acre in 1867.
The two nations have jointly created one of Alaska's most beautiful towns, picturesquely set on the island-studded Sitka Sound with views out to the perfect volcanic cone of Mount Edgecumbe.
