Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Vacation on the Nile: A Collection of Letters Written to Friends at Home Having been twenty-five years in the publishing business, I determined to take a good long vacation. I had heard through friends and had read that there was very much of interest to be seen in the land of the Pharaohs, so on January 10, 1912, with Mrs. Parkhurst and my son Richard, I left New York on board the "Adriatic" of the White Star Line, bound for Alexandria, stopping at various Atlantic and Mediterranean ports en route. Leaving the ship, we went by rail to Cairo; thence up the Nile on a private dahabeah, "Happy Days." We had invited to join our party, Mr. T. W. Gilson, a friend and business partner of many years´ standing, Mrs. Gilson, and Mrs. Pond, an old friend of our family. Miss Ireline De Witt, a recent graduate of Wells College and daughter of a business associate, and John Gile, about to enter Dartmouth College with my son Richard, also accompanied us.
