I'd also like to find any good English-language history books on the Russian Far East...especially the Cossack exploration and conquest of Siberia and the Russian fur trade. Anybody have any recommendations?

Yuri Slezkine's Arctic Mirrors. It's less a general narrative history and more a study on how the people of the region were perceived by Russians over the centuries.
