The history of the author’s maternal ancestors in early Siberia provides the focus of this wide ranging book. From unjustly exiled Russians to Polish immigrants, the cavalcade of characters comes together in far eastern Siberia. Each person’s unique experience and personality illuminates the travels and meetings that produced this particular family line. They were all part of the diverse group of people who settled there before 1885, known as Old Settlers or Siberiaks. The book provides a fascinating insight into those times, as well as depicting the hardships that were part of being Jewish in 19th century Russia. Part One of Siberian Odyssey, subtitled The Exiles, begins when Joseph Sadovitch, a rabbi turned wine clerk, is exiled to Siberia for striking a policeman who ignores looters during a fire in a Jewish home. He is arrested, tried and sentenced to permanent exile in Siberia. From then on he will be considered as one dead. He faces a grim future, leaving home, wife and children, to join a band of other exiles for a two-year march to the far east, a distance of over 4,000 miles. A widowed tailor from Zhitomir, a young fur trapper, son of an exile, and others intersect and connect with Joseph’s story.

As research continues on the earliest migration of modern humans into North and South America, the current state of knowledge about these first Americans is continually evolving. Especially with recent advances in human genomic studies, both of living populations and ancient skeletal remains, new light is being shed in the ongoing quest toward understanding the full complexity and timing of prehistoric migration patterns. Paleoamerican Odyssey collects thirty-one studies presented at the 2013 conference by the same name, hosted in Santa Fe, New Mexico, by the Center for the Study of the First Americans at Texas A&M University. Providing an up-to-date view of the current state of knowledge in paleoamerican studies, the research gathered in this volume, presented by leaders in the field, focuses especially on late Pleistocene Northeast Asia, Beringia, and North and South America, as well as dispersal routes, molecular genetics, and Clovis and pre-Clovis archaeology.

Jeffrey Tayler's intrepid journey up the Lena - a river closed to the world during the Soviet era - took him through some of Siberia's wildest and most hauntingly beautiful regions and brought him into contact with many groups of isolated villagers. These people survive in this region - now a wild frontier that lives off the diamond trade - cut off from the world by lack of roads, neglected by the Russian government and prey to alcoholism. Their untold stories form the the focus of the book, set against the backdrop of Tayler's descriptions of incredibly harsh weather conditions and his adventures in negotiating permission to travel in the region with Russian authorities and then navigating the Lena to its mouth in the Laptev Sea, above the arctic circle.
