Written by Elim Pavlovich Demidov(sp)around the turn of the 1900’s. I had this book on my Kindle but did not finish due to the fact that I do not like the electronic books. I like the feel of a real book. I found a copy on Amazon and now am immersed in this book to the point that I have a world Atlas and have been following his parties journey through Russian. I cannot fathom the places, the adventure their party enjoyed. We live in such a modern time that getting from point “A” to “B” isn’t too much trouble....for the most part.
Anyway, the book is amazing and the adventure truly amazing. This book will go well in my growing library of adventure. MTG

MT Gunner is right. Very good book. I have read it and recommend it!
