Kort biografi
Richard A. Pierce was an American historian and publisher who specialized in the Russian era of Alaska’s history. He was involved in the publishing of more than 60 volumes on Alaska’s history, in the capacity of author, translator, editor and publisher, and was considered one of the foremost authorities on Russian America. In 1972 Pierce set up his one-man publishing house, The Limestone Press. He chose the name from the nickname of Kingston, Ontario, the “Limestone City”, which has its origins in its many limestone buildings. He published mainly books on Alaska’s history, but also on Ukrainian and African and other topics, as well as books dealing with Kingston’s history.
