Gerhard M ller (1705 1783) is renowned as the first historian to
specialise in the history and culture of Siberia. Born in
Westphalia, M ller was invited to teach at the newly founded
Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg in 1725. He joined the Second
Kamtchatka Expedition to western Siberia in 1735, and on his return
spent the remainder of his life publishing works on the history of
Siberia. His co-author Peter Simon Pallas (1741 1811) also served
on several expeditions to Siberia. This volume, first published in
English in 1842, contains the English translation of these authors'
detailed description of the Russian colonisation of Siberia and
tensions with China. Combining ethnographic material with accounts
of Russia's trade with indigenous Siberian peoples and China, this
volume presented one of the first scholarly accounts of Siberia to
western Europe at a time when the region was little known outside
of Russia.
