Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book captures the final moments of old Siberia as it was engulfed by progress around the turn of the 20th century. The author embarked on a geological and geographical reconnaissance through Siberia after the Boxer war and intersected with the remnants of old world Siberia that had existed for generations. This account narrates the process by which Cossack adventurer Yermak first led his countrymen across the Ural Mountains in the 1580s and the decades-long process of conquest and exploration that followed. The author recounts the establishment of towns, discovery of gold and other natural resources, and the growth of the region through the lens of fabled explorers such as Khabaroff. The book highlights the influence of powerful figures such as Ivan the Terrible and Tzar Alexander III and their role in the rapid development of Siberia. This historical account concludes with the arrival of the Great Siberian Railway and the subsequent influx of people and ideas that would forever change the face of Siberia.
