Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through Siberia Notwithstanding the fact that the world is now passing through a phase of eager geographical exploration and dis covery to which no period - not even the Elizabethan affords a parallel, there are still countries whither the traveller, be he naturalist, geographer, or sportsman, but rarely directs his steps. Siberia is one of them. The map of Africa is becoming almost as crowded with place-names as that of France, and we are steadily filling in the Arctic and even the Antarctic coast-lines, but the Land of the Tundra remains almost as unknown to Englishmen as it was in the days of Cochrane, when, eighty years ago, he set him self the astounding task of walking, baggageless and alone, from Dieppe to Kamschatka. The Treaty of Nertchinsk is a couple of centuries old, and the Russian conquerors had reached the furthest limits of the vast land even earlier, but no one now thinks of following in their footsteps.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through Siberia an Empire in the Making We wish to express our gratitude to the following friends in Siberia and Manchuria, who showed the greatest alacrity to help us see these much misrepresented and misunderstood lands as they really are: Mr. Reinecke, the American consular agent at Omsk; his son, Colonel Savlovski of Tomsk; and his courteous henchman, Trainer Tombeark of Salaiyeer; Mr. A. K. Speight of Tomsk, to whom, in large measure, we owe our information about the minerals and fauna of Siberia; the Danish colony of Irkutsk - Alfred Shonebeck, J. B. Johansen, K. Pade, Mr. Christensen and the rest - who extended hospitality to us in the Siberian metropolis and who, like Mr. Speight, gave up much of their spare time to furnish us with detailed information about the features and institutions of the country; Mr. and Mrs. Otto Vogler of Stretensk, through whose good offices we were able to obtain the ill-fated Why Not?

We do not change our natures much in spite of a veneer of culture, and it is only the story of the cave-dwellers and the scratchings on the reindeer bone, told over again under easier conditions with the rifle and the camera.

Download or read book With the Die Hards in Siberia Classic Reprint written by Colonel John Ward and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-08-08 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from With the Die-Hards in Siberia Originally written for the private use of my sons in case I did not return, this narrative of events. Connected with the expedition to Siberia must of necessity lack many of the necessary ele ments which go to make a history. I wrote of things as they occurred, and recorded the reasons and motives which prompted the participants. Many things have happened since which seem to show that we were not always right in our esti mate of the forces at work around us. Things are not always what they seem, and this is probably more evident in the domain of Russian affairs than in any other. It would be comparatively easy to alter the text, and square it with the results, but that would destroy the main value of the story. The Statesman and the Soldier rarely write his tory. It is their misfortune to make it. It is quite easy to be a prophet when you know the result. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through Siberia and Manchuria by Rail This short account of my journey from London to Shanghai by way of the Siberian Railway was at first intended for private circulation only, in order to meet the enquiries of numerous personal friends. Now, however, that war has broken out between Russia and Japan, and that it may be years before this, the longest railway in the world, is again open to international traffic, I feel that any information, however slight, concerning so stupendous an undertaking, as well as about the remote region which it traverses, may be of interest to the general public. I wish to emphasize that much of what is herein described was seen only from the windows of a moving train, and must therefore be lacking in that accuracy and detail which closer inspection could alone insure. The Russian words "KTO HAETb?" on the cover signify "who goes there"?, and the Chinese characters represent my surname. The Russian cross at the end, is that of the original Greek Church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Real Siberia: Together With an Account of a Dash Through Manchuria This volume lays claim to give nothing more than personal impressions of a journey made across Siberia and through Manchuria in the autumn of 1901. I went to Siberia on a mission of curiosity, with the average Britisher's prejudice against things Russian, and with my eyes wide open to see things I might criticise and even condemn. If, however, I found little to bless in the great land beyond the Urals, I also found very little to curse. Through generations there has grown up in the public mind the idea that Siberia is a land of snow and exiles. There is much that is thrilling in stories of innocent prisoners, weary and starving, being driven through blinding storms with the whips of brute officials to urge them on. Yet the public, I am afraid, rather like that sort of thing, and a succession of writers have ministered to their appetite for sensa tion. So only one phase of Siberian life - a slight and a passing phase - has been depicted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Siberia To Day Classic Reprint written by Frederick F. Moore and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Siberia to-Day The attitude of mind with which a writer approaches his subject is the core of his book. My purpose in recording my observations and impressions while serving in Siberia is to tell such citizens of the United States as may be interested some of the things they may want to know about the Siberians. This is not a "war book," nor an account of thrilling deeds, nor a history of our expedition in Siberia, but a book in which I have attempted to bring to the public a realization of the difficulties under which our officers and men performed, and perform, their duties in that land. These difficulties are partly inherent in the Siberians themselves, partly the result of the chaos following the Russian revolution and Bolshevism, and partly the result of a lack of policy for Siberia on our part. The people of the United States undoubtedly feel sympathy for all Russia, and desire to aid it in some way; President Wilson, we all know, burdened with the world war's problems, seeks a solution of the Russian situation which will give the people of Russia the fullest possible means of attaining national liberty.

For the same reason, it has been thought advisable to use the thermometer graduated according to the scale of Reaumur, and in matters of importance to refer to the difference between this scale and that of Fahrenheit, which is in use among ourselves.
