Русский Холм

Russian Hill was named for the graves of several sailors of the "Russian-American Company," who died here in the early 1840s. During the Gold Rush the 49ers found their graves, marked by wooden crosses, at the top of this hill and added graves of there own, the graves were removed or built over during the 1850s.

In Russian:
