This text delves into the early Russian explorations and discoveries in the northern Pacific Ocean, specifically focused on the regions bridging Asia and North America. The author documents not only the voyages of notable explorers like Beering and Tschirikoff but also incorporates the complexities of the fur trade and interactions with indigenous populations. The opening of the work introduces the author’s intent to collect and present information about Russian discoveries and trade links between Siberia and the newly identified islands in the Pacific. Coxe outlines his research process in St. Petersburg, references the journals of past expeditions, and notes the influence of the Empress of Russia in promoting these ventures. He sets the stage for a detailed examination of the geography, populations, and economic activities associated with these territories, as well as the consequences of Russian colonial expansion in the region. As such, readers are poised to learn not only about the navigational achievements but also about the socio-economic contexts surrounding these early explorations.
