De Windt set off from Juneau intending to complete a journey to Paris by land. He visited the Klondike just as the gold rush had begun, but his narrative is more important for his account of a stay with the Tchuktchis on the coast of Siberia, the first European to do so. De Windt was eventually picked up by the whaler Belvedere, and returned to San Francisco.
