Mountain, hill, forest, island, and river will rise to me hereafter in imagination as they rose then in reality. A voyage along the entire course of the Amoor is one that the longest lifetime cannot efface from the memory. For a hundred and sixty years the little post of Oust-Strelka was the most easterly possession of Russia in the Amoor valley.
Some of his early battles were fought in its valley. The Shilka is formed by the Onon and Ingodah, that rise in the region north of the head waters of the Kerolun.
