Prospector In Siberia: The Autobiography Of Jonas Lied is a memoir written by Jonas Lied, a Norwegian geologist and explorer who spent over 20 years prospecting for minerals in Siberia during the early 20th century. The book chronicles Lied's adventures and experiences as he travelled through the vast and remote wilderness of Siberia, facing extreme weather conditions, dangerous animals, and hostile indigenous tribes.Lied's story begins with his arrival in Siberia in 1907, where he was hired by a Russian mining company to search for gold and other valuable minerals. Over the next two decades, he travelled extensively throughout the region, often on foot or by sled, and encountered a variety of challenges and obstacles along the way.In addition to recounting his adventures, Lied also provides insights into the geology and natural history of Siberia, as well as the social and political climate of the time. He describes his interactions with the local people, including the Evenk and Yakut tribes, and offers a glimpse into their traditional way of life.Throughout the book, Lied's passion for exploration and his love of the wilderness shine through, as he reflects on the beauty and majesty of the Siberian landscape. Prospector In Siberia is a fascinating and inspiring account of one man's journey into the unknown, and a testament to the human spirit of adventure and exploration.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
