Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Heth and Moab: Explorations in Syria in 1881 and 1882 In this volume Captain Conder gives the more popular results of his short but most interesting and valuable campaign in 1881-82. The history of the expedition, its promising commencement, and its untimely end, have already been related in the pages of our ´Quarterly Statement´ and elsewhere. While he was waiting for the arrival of his instruments and his surveyors, Captain Conder utilised the time by taking a journey north in search of the long-lost Kadesh, the sacred city of the Hittites: what he found, and how he found it, is here told. As soon as his instruments were landed he made preparations for the Eastern Survey. This was to have been commenced in the north, but there was fighting among the Druses, which made it impossible for a party commanded by an English officer of Engineers to work in the neighbourhood. Accordingly, Captain Conder attempted the eastern side by way of Moab. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
