Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Trans-Caspia: The Sealed Provinces of the Czar As I send these notes of last summer´s journey out into the world for better or for worse, he whose protection we enjoyed for many months lies silent and cold in death within the cathedral fortress of Peter and Paul. From our entrance into his dominions at Wirballen to our departure at Irkeshtan the power and protection of the Czar were forever around us, and though at times it seemed to one from America irksome to be so eternally watched, yet I could not but feel with it all a sense of security utterly impossible under any other power. The face of Alexander III., as it smiled down upon us at every point or post, through the Caucasus and Georgia, over the Caspian Sea and Black Desert, at Bokhara the Noble and fair Samarkand, at Tashkend and Osh, or in some lonely outpost of the "Valley of Paradise," was forever that of a friend.
