About Tent Life In Siberia: An Incredible Account Of
Product Description In the 1860s, the Russo-American Telegraph Company set out to telegraphically connect the United States and Europe using lines running through the Bering Straits and Siberia. The failed expedition marked one of the first explorations of the vast Siberian wilderness, and George Kennan’s tale of a seemingly endless land filled with wildlife and nomadic tribes is as entertaining today as it was 140 years ago. With biting humor and poignant insight, Kennan details his years fighting to survive a doomed mission. He depicts the quiet loneliness of the desolate landscape, the eerie glow of the sun at midnight, and the refusal to give in to one of the harshest places man has ever tried to conquer. His book is a testament to our planet’s beauty and danger, as well as to the tireless will of the human spirit. Review "A freshly written and engrossing account." -- American Heritage "An incredible adventure story. A real classic." -- Annie Dillard "Breezy, confident, irreverent, and wonderfully readable." -- Larry McMurty About the Author George Kennan was born in Norwalk, Ohio. From the age of twelve, he worked in telegraphy, and in 1864 he secured employment with the Russo-American Telegraph Company - a job that ultimately led him on his epic journey through the Siberian wilderness.
