Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Brief Pilgrimage in the Holy Land: Recounted in a Series of Addresses Delivered in Wellesley College Chapel These brief Sunday evening addresses are attempts to bring back to the College some of the wonderful experiences of a sabbatical year abroad. They record the doings and feelings of three crowded weeks, - weeks to color the whole of a lifetime. The circumstances under which this little journey was taken were peculiarly happy. Many women travelling alone in the East, even in this day, feel obliged to join a party and go under the auspices of one of the great tourist agencies. I am not an inexperienced traveller, having sailed both the Atlantic and the Pacific, and crossed our own continent more than a score of times. So I did not follow the usual plan. I had one companion, a dear and sympathetic friend, and an excellent trained nurse who had been with me in illness, and who for the sake of the experience was travelling as my maid. I found on the Nile just the dragoman I wanted, - a man whose likeness to the butler of my childhood seemed to establish a bond. He was a native of Assouan, a man of sixty, keen and clever, who had begun life with Professor Georg Ebers, and had some real knowledge of archaeological treasures.
