Synopsis: In this amazing tale of adventure, George Kennan tells the story of his expedition through the Siberian wilderness with a small team of explorers. In 1864 Kennan, funded by the Russo-American Telegraph Company, set out to do the seemingly impossible-telegraphically connect the United States and Europe via land lines running through the Bering Straits and Siberia. Kennan and his comrades survived for two years in the vast, perilous wilderness of uncharted Siberia, seeing sights no man had ever seen and meeting nomadic peoples completely isolated from civilization.
