| Summary/Abstract |
IN 1816-1817, the flag of the Russian Empire was waving on the westernmost of the Hawaiian Islands, Kauai. The word "Don" appeared on the Kauai map as a new name for what had been the Hanapepe River. Three Russian forts, which were named Elizabeth, Alexander and Barclay, emerged at key strategic points on the island - at the mouth of the Waimea River in the south and on the shore of the picturesque Hanalei Bay in the north.
