1871. The object of Bush's travels, in connection with others, was to make preliminary surveys for the proposed route of the Russo-American telegraph line. The author intended to convey an idea of what he saw, heard, and endured during his sojourn of nearly three years in these cold, desolate, and unwritten, yet interesting regions, large portions of which had never before been visited by white men. It has not been his aim to produce a volume valuable in a scientific point of view; but if, through this means, he contributes any thing to the small budget of knowledge already secured concerning those countries visited by him, or if, after a perusal of this journal, the reader shall feel compensated for the time consumed in reading it, its object will have been fully attained. With illustrations.
