Before trying to expand this, as it's very complicated, I'm going to compile here a variety of online sources; it's hard to sort out the competing interpretations of the treaty's language and meaning and original debates, and hard not to be POV about clearly willfull misinterpretations/reinterpretations of the material, whether from the Ameriacn side, the BC one, or the Canadian/imperial one (there being actually three differing viewpoints, not two): Anyway the first ref here is an American equivalent to Alexander Begg's analyses, one or two of which are linked in the References or External links of Alaska boundary dispute:
Hereditary Knights of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, 1914 - not related directly to the boundary issues but included here because the Ukase of 1799 had various religious clauses/edicts of which the establishment (re-establishment?) of the Maltese Order in Russia (soon after abolished by other ukases it seems)....Begg makes mention of religious clauses but doesn't say what they were; I think somewhere I saw something about the status of the Russian Orthodox Church in Alaska but not in any sources I'm currently aware of.
Most google results for "Ukase of 1821" return materials realted to the law of the sea/Bering Sea Aribtration, many of them only abstracts or titles of works available for purchase only. I'll be back, need a break.Skookum1 (talk) 15:38, 1 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
