"The Real Siberia" (1902), the online version of the travelogue of British journalist John Foster Fraser's adventurous 1901 journey from Moscow to Vladivostok, through Manchuria and into Mongolia.

The author took not the famous Trans-Siberian Express "the fairest jewel in the crown of the Czars," but "the ordinary daily train that jogs along lowly, stopping at the wayside stations, picking up moudjiks, putting moudjiks down. It took much longer, but there was a charm about it. Besides, it was much cheaper and it required only a very small bribe pressed into the hand of the black-whiskered, astrakan-capped conductor to get a carriage to myself. I spoke four words of Russian, and I carried all my belongings in a couple of bags. Off to Siberia!".

The online version consists of the equivalent of 280 hardcopy pages and more than 80 photographs. Comments to Rita Bogna: rabogna@dove.net.au
