Backed by newspapers in London, Paris and New York, Harry de Windt set out to test whether a railway could ever link Paris to New York. His party rode the Trans-Siberian, sledged up the Lena post-road through Yakutsk and Verkhoyansk, endured the Chukchi coast in deep winter, crossed the Bering Strait and came out through Alaska.
