Baer, to urge the erection of a monument in St.
Petersburg, as a restitution for long forgetfulness, former
misjudgment, and lack of appreciation. As Russia’s first
navigator and first great discoverer, he certainly has
merited such a distinction. We shall, however, consider our
task accomplished, if we have succeeded in giving in
these pages a reliable account of the life and character of
a man who deserves to be remembered, not only by that
nation which must ever count Vitus Bering among her
good and faithful sons, but also by the country that
harvested the fruits of his labors.
