Strange Siberia, Along the Trans-Siberian Railway
"Strange Siberia, Along the Trans-Siberian Railway," a journey from the great wall of China to the sky-scrapers of Manhattan. By Marcus Lorenzo Taft. $1.00. Eaton & Mains, New York. A very readable little volume, indeed—especially so from the fact that it covers new ground with that which makes new ground interesting—the author is telling us his personal experience as he passes over that great stretch of country called Siberia. The great wall of China, Mukden, Harbin, across Manchuria, the regions of Genghis Khan, Siberia, Irkutsk, and all the various changes which are incident to the journey across the vast Russian possession, we are told about in an interesting and taking way. The book is quite well illustrated, with a frontispiece in colors. It affords a real contribution to our knowledge of an almost unknown land.
