"Lieutenant Hooper participated in the search for Sir John Franklin... passing through the Bering Strait and turning eastward... The principal interest of this work lies in the author's description of the Chukchi land and of its population (whom he calls Tuski) gathered during his 10 months' stay in the northeastern extremity of Asia bordering on the Bering Strait" (Lada-Mocarski).
