The book chronicles the history of Russia from its earliest days through its development as an empire, emphasizing the significant events and figures that shaped its evolution. Abbott aims to present a coherent narrative that details Russia's journey from barbarism to civilization, highlighting key monarchs and their impact on the country's formation and governance. The opening of the book sets the stage by discussing the early inhabitants of the Russian territory, describing various tribes and their societal roles before the establishment of a unified Russian state. Abbott details the brutal lives of these nomadic groups, particularly the Scythians and other tribes that ravaged Europe, before transitioning to the birth of the Russian empire under leaders such as Rurik and his successors. The narrative paints a picture of the harsh realities of life in early Russia, the emergence of significant figures like Oleg, and the struggles against external threats, all while showcasing the gradual transition from a chaotic existence to a more structured society.
John S. C. Abbott (1805-1877) was a prolific American historian, educator, and Congregational pastor. He is best remembered for his vividly accessible, morally grounded biographies, notably his highly sympathetic History of Napoleon Bonaparte, and for writing foundational 19th-century domestic and parenting guides.
