"A first-hand account of life in the wilderness of Kazakstan on the eve of industrialization." For five years from 1914 the author mined copper for the Tsarist government, and later for Admiral Koltchak, in the wild steppes of Southern Siberia. He tells of working conditions and regulations, the Kazakh tribesmen who are descendants of the hordes of Genghis Khan, and of the life and ideals of provincial Russians.

Small octavo hardcover in a price-clipped, chipped and edge-worn jacket, first published 1961 by The Gallery Press. Original black cloth with gilt spine titling. 190 pages with index, illustrated with 47 photographs and 4 maps.
