“Limitations of temperament may easily prevent a western reader from doing justice to characters who seem to him so morbid and neurotic, so pathologically introspective: nor can he see ‘Snow’ as a play for the western stage. Yet he must admit that the author shows at times profound psychological insight and can write occasional passages of power.”

The book is an abridged edition of the author’s autobiography, “My reminiscences,” for young readers. As a mining engineer, geologist, archaeologist and explorer, the author’s experiences, which transpired on our western frontier in it’s heroic days, on the mountains of Corsica, in China, Japan and Siberia, were many and thrilling and those portions of the original work have been selected that are most interesting to the young with only so much editing as was required to make a connected story. Appropriate illustrations have been added.
