Constantine Grewingk, who later became one of the Empire's leading scientists, had gathered and organized everything that Russia Knew about the geology of Alaska by 1850. Here he provides and analysis of mineral samples and an exhaustive examination of all publications relevant to geology and geographical exploration up to his time. His discussion of all known volcanic activity, including that before the arrival of the Russians, is particularly unique for his use of Native oral traditions gathered by explorers and clerics. He also describes, for the first time, phenomena that are assumed to have been discovered much later, including specific copper, coal, and gold deposits. He published the first mineralogical maps of the Alaska territory and developed some of the earliest theoretical accounts of Alaskan fossils, volcanoes, and the the Bering Land Bridge. This much-anticipated translation will be valuable to readers interested in Alaska natural history, geology, minerology, Russian America, and the history of science.
