Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Russian Historical Museum at Moscow After the Stone Age had existed for a period of long and unknown duration, a higher culture made its appearance with the first discovery of the use of metal in the form of Bronze; this was possibly about 1500 years before the Christian Era. No frescoes have yet been painted for this room, which represents the early Bronze Age, but the cases contain fine collections of specimens unearthed in various districts; they comprise magnificent bronze axes, daggers, and spear-heads, portions of horse trappings and harness, bells, fish-hooks, and chains, besides many articles for personal adornment, such as fibulæ, hairpins, earrings, and spiral bracelets; there are also some very pretty necklaces and pendant ornaments of various coloured stones. Many of these articles are from the tombs at the little mountain village of Koban, near Vladicaveas, in the Caucasus. Another "find" from Kasbec, in the same district, contains some very remarkable objects. Most noticeable among these are the bronze stags' and mules' heads, ornamenting portions of harness; also a silver bowl of Phoenician origin. A splendid collection of pottery of the Bronze Age, chiefly from Yaroslaf on the Volga, is here exhibited. The most interesting objects in this room, however, are three beautifully-executed models in coloured plaster of the burial-places of the period, copied from tumuli found in different districts in Russia. In the first of these - an example from Koban - the skeleton of a human being is seen, lying on its side, within a stone kist, which is formed of slabs set on end, with a large flat stone resting on the top, like a cromlech (Plate D, 1); this kist was afterwards covered with a heap of earth, forming a tumulus.

Book excerpt: In the autumn of 1871, Alexis Romanov, the fourth son of Tsar Alexander II of Russia, set sail from his homeland for an extended journey through the United States and Canada. A major milestone in U.S.-Russia relations, the tour also served Duke Alexis's family by helping to extricate him from an unsuitable romantic entanglement with the daughter of a poet. Alexis in America recounts the duke's progress through the major American cities, detailing his meetings with celebrated figures such as Samuel Morse and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and describing the national self-reflection that his presence spurred in the American people. The first Russian royal ever to visit the United States, Alexis received a tour through post-Civil War America that emphasized the nation's cultural unity. While the enthusiastic American media breathlessly reported every detail of his itinerary and entourage, Alexis visited Niagara Falls, participated in a bison hunt with Buffalo Bill Cody, and attended the Krewe of Rex's first Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans. As word of the royal visitor spread, the public flocked to train depots and events across the nation to catch a glimpse of the grand duke. Some speculated that Russia and America were considering a formal alliance, while others surmised that he had come to the United States to find a bride. The tour was not without incident: many city officials balked at spending public funds on Alexis's reception, and there were rumors of an assassination plot by Polish nationals in New York City. More broadly, the visit highlighted problems on the national level, such as political corruption and persistent racism, as well as the emerging cultural and political power of ethnic minorities and the continuing sectionalism between the North and the South. Lee Farrow joins her examination of these cultural underpinnings to a lively narrative of the grand duke's tour, creating an engaging record of a unique moment in international relations.
