Journeys in Jerusalem and a Trans-M Mississippi tale
Excerpts from the Evening Post diary recount travel in Palestine by Hon. Wm. I. Seward, describing monasteries, deserts, and the Holy City from Sharon to Jerusalem. The piece blends religious history with vivid, sometimes critical scenes of modern Jerusalem, and includes a later California to Utah travelers’ sketch of frontier life and encounters with Indians and personal adventures.
