Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Last Stand of the Old Siberia His brief narrative of The Last Stand Tof the Old Siberia is based on observa tions made during a geological and geograph ical reconnaissance by the author through Siberia in 1901, just after the Boxer war in China and adjoining parts of Siberia. The reason that the narrative was not published many years ago is that the region was still the old-time Siberia, for the Great Siberian Rail way was only partly completed and had not yet materially changed the people or their conditions. This old-time Siberia had been much described, much discussed, and more often than not, much and unjustly abused; enough had been said about it for that time.
