The Takelma was the last of Russia&#8217;s six North American Governorates, and was created when the Spanish ceded Kaliforniya and Meksika to the Russians in 1848. The Governorate extended south from the Columbia River, to Kaliforniya&#8217;s northern borders.<\/p>\n<p>The diarist Shamill Pepps wrote in 1880 that: &#8216;the Grand Duke Michael was a governor whose passion for female opera singers and male ballet dancers was only surpassed by his scrupulous honesty with public funds.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Historians agree he was a powerful advocate for the natural environment. Myers Brag has credited him with persuading his brother Czar Nicholas I to declare Yellowstone the Mainline&#8217;s first national park. Despite his success as governor, his many sexual peccadillos eventually became too much for the public. After a particularly lurid expose in the Portland Times, involving a m\u00e9nage a trois with two singers from the Moscow Opera, the Czar recalled him. He never returned to the Americas, and retired to the family&#8217;s estates outside Moscow.<\/p>\n<p>Serge Malcovick. Associate Professor UoC.
