S. S. Xodgera, Behring Sea. July 28M, 1881. Were it not that during the Crimean war the allied enemies of Russia saw fit to attempt the capture of the place, and thus gave it dignity that it would have been difficult otherwise to acquire, one would believe Petropaulovski to be of little importance in the world. But when in August, 1854, the combined fleets of England and France, consisting of six frigates, assembled before the town and landed a large force in its rear, they found it fortified and defended by a small but determined band of Russians and Cossacks, who, aided by topographical advantages and palpable errors on the part of their adversaries, defeated them most ignominiously with the loss of most of the English and French officers, and about one hundred and twenty men. On a hillside near the earthwork, where the engagement took place, is a cemetery about twenty feet square, within which are two mounds surmounted by wooden crosses, bearing inscriptions in the Russian language, which cover the remains of those who fell on both sides during the fight. The cemetery is surrounded by a neat paling fence, painted white, and is not lacking in picturesque effect, at the foot of the high, rugged hill, and flanked by the grass-grown ruins of the fort, and the powder magazine. Petropaulovski is correctly pronounced with the accent on "paul," and gently sliding over the remaining syllables. It is situated in a valley between high hills, with wooded slopes on the sides least exposed to the prevailing winds. Its houses are small, and chiefly made of roughly hewn logs, the poorer ones thatched with straw. Many of the government buildings, the warehouses of the Russian Fur Company, and the dwellings of the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Kirkus Reviews Best Children's Book This thrilling and terrifying true story of the 1879 search for the North Pole follows the frightening fates of the USS Jeannette crew as disaster strikes -- and the men battle to survive two years bound by ice. In the years following the Civil War, "Arctic fever" gripped the American public, fueled by myths of a fertile, tropical sea at the top of the world. Bound by Ice follows the journey of George Washington De Long and the crew of the USS Jeannette, who departed San Francisco in the summer of 1879 hoping to find a route to the North Pole. However, in mid-September the ship became locked in ice north of Siberia and drifted for nearly two years before it was crushed by ice and sank. De Long and his men escaped the ship and began a treacherous journey in extreme polar conditions in an attempt to reach civilization. Many—including De Long—did not survive. This true story for middle graders keeps readers on the edge of their seats to the very end. Includes excerpts from De Long’s extensive journals, which were recovered with his body; newspapers from the time; and photos and sketches by the men on the expedition.
