REINDEER, Docs, AND SNow-SHoEs A
Journal of Siberian Travel and Explora-
tons made in the years lS65-67. BY
Richard j. Bush late of the Russo Amer
lean Telegraph Expedition. Illustrated.
Cloth, 81.
The story of the Russo-American Tele-
graph Expedition through Siberia, as told
by Mr.. Bush, who was one of its members,
is one of the most fascinating books of travel
and adventure which has been given to the
public in a long time. Mr.. Bush is very
clever writer, as well as q keen observer
and has the rare faculty of knowing Just
what people want to be told about com
paratively unknown country. The route
pursued by the expedition in search of a
feasible line for the telegraph across that
wild and semi barous land, lay quite out
of the usual track of commerce and travel,
through regions where civilization has hard
" begun tosdawp, and brought the ex-
plorers into contact with rude and outre
types of humanity, whose habits, dwellings,
costumes and characteristics are described
by Mr.. Bush in the most vivacious and in
teresting manner.
The volume is splendidly ILLUSTRATED with
wood-cuts, from sketches made by the
author. Few people would care to travel
through Eastern Siberia, but every body
would like to know something of the desc
home of the exiles whom she wishes to
punish with the utmost rigor; and there is
no work in the English language where
such information can be more pleasantly
acquired than in Mr.. Bushs Reindeer,
Dogs, and Snow Shoes
The author certainly possesses a happy
talent for description; ana his plain, unvar-
nished narrative abOnds in passages which
will attract the attention of the reader by
the. ease and animation of their style, no
less than by the fullness and novelty of
their information.-New York Tribune.
