Project Gutenberg 2004-05-01 Public domain in the USA. 224 Kennan, George 1845 1924 Tent Life in Siberia A New Account of an Old Undertaking; Adventures among the Koraks and Other Tribes In Kamchatka and Northern Asia Produced by Josephine Paolucci and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Tent Life in Siberia" by George Kennan is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative recounts Kennan's explorations and experiences in the remote regions of Siberia, specifically among the Koraks and other tribes in Kamchatka and Northern Asia. The book captures both the natural beauty and the cultural elements of these less-traveled areas while also delving into the hardships and adventures encountered during the expeditions. At the start of the narrative, Kennan sets the stage by reflecting on the ambitious Russian-American Telegraph Company project that aimed to build an overland cable linking North America and Europe through Siberia. He introduces himself as part of the first exploring party sent to survey the territory for the telegraph line. As the group sets sail from San Francisco on the brig Olga, Kennan describes their high hopes and initial excitement, which quickly turn to seasickness and the challenges of enduring a long, uncomfortable journey across the North Pacific. The opening portion paints a vivid picture of the crew's anticipation as they prepare to venture into the unknown wilderness of Siberia, and it hints at the subsequent encounters they will have with both the landscape and the local people.
