Title: Surprised to find it for free!
Review: I have Tent Life in hard cover, but it's packed away in one of my many boxes of books that are dear to me, but which I don't have time to re-read or space to shelve in a too small house.I noticed this when I was reading reviews of "George F. Kennan: An American Life", John Lewis Gaddis' new biography of the diplomat, George F. Kennan. (The author of Tent Life was a cousin of the diplomat's grandfather.)Tent life is an engaging real life adventure of the older George Kennan's work on a proposed trans-Siberian telegraph line, proposed to link Europe and The Americas via a telegraph line across the Bering Straight. The project was canceled after a second attempt at a trans-Atlantic cable succeeded, but we get a good look at Siberia in the pre-Soviet era.A good read if you like this sort of thing.
