Synopsis

Join a lively troupe as they travel the Holy Land, mixing humor with history and firsthand discovery.

A seasoned English patroller leads eleven companions across ports, deserts, and sacred hills, turning every stop into a lesson in faith, folklore, and real-world travel. This travelogue pairs vivid scene-setting with engaging banter as the group visits Jericho, Bethlehem, Beisan, and Jerusalem’s ancient landmarks. The journey blends anecdote, observation, and practical notes on sites, people, and the tastes of the region, all told with a narrator who understands both curiosity and caution.

• Meet a motley crew whose personalities drive much of the scene and humor
• Explore famous sites through the eyes of seasoned travelers and locals
• Learn how ancient histories and modern journeys intersect in the Holy Land
• Capture the rhythm of travel by caravan and on foot, with practical glimpses of life on the road

Ideal for readers of travel writing and historical journeys, this edition offers a vivid window into a landmark region and its enduring stories.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Tbe Author died almost immediately after completing this book, and before any arrangements had been mr.de for its publication. The following brief Note, which was appended to the MS., istherefore inserted in place of a more formal Preface. Three observations only are needed in regard to the following pages: 1. I have endeavoured most oarefully to be strictly aoonrate in all my historioal and geographical statements, as also in my description of scenes and incidents. 2. With exception of the Sheikh himself, none of the members of his tribe are portraits of any actual personages, but rather embodiments of different types of travellers whom I have encountered in my many journeys through Palestine. 3. I only hold myself responsible for the statements of the Sheikh. HASKETT SMITH.
