The Only Man Who Ever Walked From America to Russia

Place names in America

III. Supplementary reading

The first people who arrived in America from Holland built a town that they named New Amsterdam. But forty years later, when Holland was at war with England, an English fleet under the command of the Duke of York appeared before New Amsterdam. The town had no army; the Eng­lish occupied the town and renamed it New York. And this, as we know, is the name that has remained to this day.

The first people who came to America did not try to think of new names for the towns they built, but often gave the new place the same name as the place they had come from. Along the east coast of the United States, we find such English names as Plymouth, Cambridge, London, Boston. English names often appear with the word "new" as a prefix: New England, New York, New Britain.

When the first English inhabitants left their homes on the east coast and moved to the west, they gave the new places the same names as those they had left behind. As a result, there are twenty-two towns in the United States that are called London, eighteen towns named Bristol, many named Chester, Windsor or New Windsor. This, of course, created a lot of difficulties for the postal service. There are towns named Philadelphia in four states, besides the Philadelphia that is the largest city in the state of Pennsylvania. This explains the Amer­ican tradition of writing the name of the state as well as the name of the city when addressing letters. If the sender does not do this, he can never be sure that his letter will go to the right address.

 

Colonel (полковник) Russel Farnum walked from America to St. Petersburg in Russia in 1812—1813. He walked, carrying a 20- pound pack and a gun, following the Missuri River to the waters of the Columbia River, then up the Pacific Coast to Alaska. He crossed the frozen Bering Strait to Siberia and continued his hike (путешествие пешком) to the Russian capital. This achievement has not equal in history. Farnum died in 1832.
