The livestock taken to Sitka in 1804 consisted of “Four cows, two calves, three bulls, three goats, a ewe and a ram, with many swine and fowls.” (Lisianski, Voyage Round the World, p. 218.)
Lisianski made the surveys and named the islands of the archipelago which had not been charted by Vancouver, of which he says: “By our survey it appears that amongst the group of islands, which in my chart I have denominated the Sitka Islands, from the inhabitants, who call themselves Sitka-hans, or Sitka people, are four principal ones, viz.: Jacobi, Crooze, Baranof, and Chichagof.” (A Voyage Round the World, Lisianski, p. 235.)

These books and letters were brought by Resanof in the “Nedeshda,” and upon reaching Kodiak Resanof established the library at that place. It was afterward removed to Sitka, probably by Baranof when he changed the chief factory to that place in 1807. After the United States took possession the library disappeared, whether taken to Russia or left in Sitka does not appear, but the books were likely left in Sitka and gradually disappeared through theft in the years when there was no custodian of such property.
