Bering's voyages: an account of the efforts of the Russians to determine the relation of Asia and America. By F. A. Golder. In two volumes. Volume II: Steller's journal of the sea voyage from Kamchatka to America and return on the second expedition 1741-1742. Translated and in part annotated by Leonhard Stejneger.
Amer. Geogr. Soc. Research Series No. 2: xi + 290. 30 figs. 2 pls.
–Vol. 1 (1922) is listed here as F. A. Golder (1922). Vol. 2 includes a biographical note on Steller by Golder (1-7); Steller's journal (9-187; transl. from Steller, 1793a); his description of Bering Island (189-241; transl. from Steller, 1781); his letter to Gmelin about the voyage (242-249); a detailed and annotated bibliography (including manuscript sources) on Steller, on the Commander Islands and adjacent regions, and on Bering's expeditions (251-266); and an index and errata for both volumes (267-291). The transl. of the journal incorporates critical comparisons with the original manuscript.
The material on Steller's sea cow (vii, 139-140, 161, 180, 182, 226-237, 245) briefly summarizes the anatomical and behavioral observations reported in Steller (1751, 1899), and describes the techniques used by Bering's crew to kill sea cows on Bering Island and the use made of their meat and fat. The anatomical material is not indexed here in as great detail as for Steller (1899) (q.v.), as it is largely redundant.
The biographical note contains statements (pp. 3, 5) that Steller travelled to and wintered on Bering Island a second time, in 1743-44. As explained by Stejneger (1936: 439-440), however, this false idea is based on a misunderstanding and on confusion with Basov's first voyage.
A new transl. of Steller's journal was published as Journal of a voyage with Bering, 1741-1742 (O. W. Frost, ed.), Stanford Univ. Press: vi + 252, 1988.
