“The peasants (well not exactly) of Finland differ widely from the Russians in look and dress: they had for the most part fair complexions, and many of them had red hair; they have their beards, wear their hair parted at the top and hanging to a considerable length over their shoulders.”                                     ——————- William Coxe                                                     circa 1785
