The Russian expedition to America. With an introduction and notes by M. A. Michael.
New York, Collier Books: 1-190.
–"Translated from Johan Skalberg's Danish version, Vitus Berings eventyrlige opdagerfærd 1733-1743 [Copenhagen, Rosenkilde & Bagger: 1-139, 1948], by M. A. Michael." Originally published in Engl. under the title The American Expedition (London, Edinburgh, & Glasgow, Wm. Hodge: 1-236, 1952). The German manuscript original was first discovered and published in part by E. Büchner (1891). The MS. itself was lost during the Russian Revolution, then reappeared in a bookshop and was purchased by the State Library in Leningrad, according to Michael's introduction to this ed. (p. 22). A photocopy of this MS. was the basis for the Danish translation which in turn is translated here into English. Steller's sea cow, 157-159.
