1806 The Adams Petersburg Frozen Mammoth
The 1799 Wooly Mammoth of Adams frozen in ice - by Dane Beard from Harpers Young People Illustrated Weekly 1882. Later tint. Illustates the story of Ossip Schumachoff who was looking for ivory on the banks of the River Lena in Siberia in 1799 when he found a complete mammoth in the ice. He was unable to retreive any part of it until he found it thawed out some years later. In 1806,accompanied by the naturalist Mikhail Adams,he returned to the site with a crew. Much of the mammoth had been eaten away by bears and foxes. Nonetheless Adams still retreived the skeleton,one fleshed foreleg,most of the skin and forty pounds of hair. He later bought the tusks. It was the most complete mammoth ever discovered. In St. Petersburg Wilhelm Gottlieb Tilesius reassembled the bones. His biggest mistake was that he mounted the tusks on the wrong sides so that they curved outward instead of inward
