Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. BERING S VOYAGES TWO VOLUMES AMERICAN GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY 1935 BY F.A. GOLDER. These two small hard cover books (5 ¼ x 7 ¾ inches, 371 & 291 pages respectively) were published by the American Geographical Society of New York; they are reprints dated 1935 of the 1922 First Editions. I was very surprised that there were not more readily available in the book trade online; only one copy of one of the volumes was found. Happily, this two-volume set is almost pristine. They are bound in fine beige cloth with black and gilt title panels on cover and spine in each volume. The sub-title tells us that they are: An account of the efforts of the Russians to determine the relation of Asia and America. The books include the Logbooks and Official Reports of the Russian Expeditions and are well illustrated including many charts and maps, some of them fold-outs. Condition: These two books are in near fine condition. The hard covers are clean and bright with just a few specks on the rear covers; they are barely bumped. Inside, the books are unmarked (except for some easily erased pencil notations about bookseller s prices) and the pages and illustrations are bright and clean, without toning or foxing. All the hinges are intact, and the binding is tight and sound. These books are not ex-library or remainders. Language: ENG.…

Fine in the plain dust wrapper printed on the spine only; shallow wear at head and foot spine egdes, toning to the spine with a few light splashes, some toning to the edges of the panels. American Revolutionary War naval hero John Paul Jones (1747-1792), after being unable to collect prize money earned as a result of American naval actions during the war and denied the command of the USS America in 1792, in 1787 entered the service of Russian Empress Catherine II. He took part in actions in the Black Sea repulsing the Ottomans in what have been called Catherine's First and Second Turkish Wars. By 1788, Jones, disliking and inept at engaging Russian politics though he was awarded the Order Of Saint Anna, was disliked by native Russian navy hierarchy and also earned the emnity of the Empress. He was unable to earn a command in either the Swedish or Danish navies (the Empress apparently saw to that) and in 1790 relocated to Paris. Jones' particpation in the Turkish Wars is relate in this work though most of the volume contains trascriptions of letters from 1785 to 1792 in both the original French and in English translations.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating and little-known history of Russian exploration in the North Pacific Ocean, specifically focusing on the expeditions of Vitus Bering, a Danish captain who served in the Russian navy. The book chronicles Bering's two major voyages, the first undertaken between 1725 and 1730, and the second spanning 1733 to 1742. The author meticulously reconstructs these voyages through a collection of firsthand accounts, including Bering's own reports, the logs of his crew, and the journal of naturalist Georg Wilhelm Steller, who accompanied Bering on his second voyage. The book places Bering's expeditions within the larger context of European expansion and the quest to map the unknown regions of the world. It highlights the scientific and geopolitical significance of Bering's discoveries, which led to the identification of Bering Strait, the body of water separating Asia and North America, and the charting of the Alaskan coast. The narrative delves into the challenges faced by Bering and his men, from harsh weather conditions and treacherous seas to encounters with indigenous peoples. The author also sheds light on the cultural and ethnographic observations made by Bering's crew, providing valuable insights into the lives and customs of the indigenous communities they encountered. This book offers a compelling look into the spirit of exploration and the scientific advancements that occurred during the early eighteenth century, revealing the importance of Russian contributions to our understanding of the world.
