Description
Following the successful expedition to the Petchora Valley to observe the birds of Siberia, Henry Seebohm decided on a much more arduous and lengthy journey to the Yenesei river. The details of how he and his companion, Captain Wiggins, traveled six thousand miles to meet their ship for the return, how they lost her, and had to travel home again by land are the subject of this book. He also describes little-known people and their way of life and brilliantly recounts the successes, the frustration, and the failures of his search for birds.
These were not just collecting trips, however. The observations on nesting habits and behavior are still of interest coming as they do from a region that is hardly better known to the ornithologist today than it was a hundred years ago.
