In Part I of the series, there is a globe spinning, upon which Fort
Ross, California is shown as being the furthest reach of the Russian
Empire. Fort Ross is described as being North of San Francisco, and it
is in fact approximately 100 miles North of the city. In the program it
was shown as being located on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, some
900 miles north of San Francisco. This is not a good geography lesson.
Someone needs to be more careful in the future. Mike Painter, San
Francisco, CA
