'A New Edition of A Voyage Down The Amoor' - P.M. Collins,opportunist,adventurer,writer,businessman,and promoter,journeyed through Siberia and down the 2690 mile Amur river to the Pacific Ocean in 1856 as Commercial Agent of the United States for the Amur. The first American to navigate this river from source to mouth,Collins wrote an account of his adventures, which was published in 1860 under the title 'A Voyage Down The Amoor. The book was an extraordinary expression of the expansive,confident and ambitious America of his era and proved so popular that it was reissued in 1864. Charles Vevier has edited Collins' book extensively, providing an interpretive introduction and explanatory notes. The result is an attractive,first-hand account of an area and a people as mysterious to us as they were to the mid-nineteenth-century Americans but even more deserving of our attention...
