""A Pedestrian Journey Through Russia and Siberian Tartary V1: To The Frontiers of China, The Frozen Sea, and Kamtchatka"" is a travelogue written by John Dundas Cochrane in 1829. The book describes Cochrane's journey on foot through Russia and Siberia, from St. Petersburg to Kamchatka, a remote peninsula in the far east of Russia.

Along the way, he encountered a wide range of people, from wealthy landowners to impoverished peasants, and he provides vivid descriptions of their lives and customs. Cochrane also offers insights into the political and social conditions of the regions he passes through, including the tensions between Russia and China over their shared border.
