1825 – John Cochrane Voyages in Russia | China Siberia Irkutsk Kamchatka, 2v Set

John Cochrane was an early 19^th-century Royal Navy officer who is best-known for his voyages across Russia. In response to being denied the opportunity to explore the River Niger, Cochrane decided to walk from Europe to North American by way of Russia and Kamchatka. This journey took him through France, St. Petersburg, Mongolia, Irkutsk, and many other places.

In 1823, Cochrane published a narrative account of his voyage which went through numerous editions because of its popularity. ‘Narrative of a Pedestrian Journey’ is notable for including descriptions of the local tribes and peoples observed from the voyages of Otto von Kotebue and Ferdinand Vrangel.
