Frank Alfred Golder bol americký historik a archivár, ktorý sa špecializoval na históriu Ruska. Najviac si ho pamätajú pre jeho prácu na začiatku 20. rokov 20. storočia, keď vybudoval kľúčovú zbierku slovanských materiálov, ktorá dnes sídli v knižnici a archívoch Hooverovej inštitúcie na Stanfordovej univerzite. Jeho archívne úsilie položilo základy pre hlboké štúdium ruských dejín.






This book is a detailed account of the voyages of the Russian explorer Vitus Bering, who led expeditions to the waters of Alaska and the Aleutian Islands in the 18th century. The authors examine the scientific and geographical discoveries made by Bering and his crew, as well as the cultural interactions and conflicts between the Russians and the native peoples of North America. With its fascinating insights into the history of exploration and the clash of civilizations, this book is an engaging read for anyone interested in the history of the Pacific Northwest and the Arctic.
