Journey into the lands east of the Jordan, with expert observations from an era of early exploration. This nonfiction travel narrative follows Selah Merrill as he and his colleagues survey Moab, Gilead, and Bashan during 1875–1877, blending field notes with personal experiences and historical context.

Rich with sketches, maps, and firsthand impressions, it offers a window into the region’s ruins, routes, and enduring landscapes through the eyes of a 19th‑century archaeologist and explorer.
