Publisher's Synopsis
This two-volume set covers the travels and research of three Swedish explorers in the 19th century. B. O. Schauman, Carl Gustav Borg, and Matthias Alexander Castrén spent years exploring the northern regions of Europe and Asia, studying the culture, language, and history of the indigenous peoples they encountered. Their travels took them to Lapland, Siberia, and even to the Altai Mountains in Central Asia. This book is a fascinating account of the early days of exploration and the pioneering spirit of these intrepid adventurers.
