Summary "A Ride through Syria to Damascus and Baalbec, and Ascent of Mount Hermon" by Edward Abram is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles Abram's exploratory journey through the historical regions of Syria, highlighting significant locations such as Damascus and Baalbec, as well as his ascent of Mount Hermon. The narrative is rich in historical references and observations about the landscape and the people Abram encounters along his route. At the start of the narrative, the author reflects on the changing landscape of the Holy Land compared to what it was in biblical times, showing awareness of both natural beauty and the historical significance of the places he travels through. He begins his adventure in Jaffa and makes a two-day ride across the plains towards Nazareth, noting the remnants of past civilizations and engaging with local Bedouins for safety. The opening chapters reveal Abram's deep appreciation for the history of the land, the richness of its past, and his eagerness to explore often overlooked paths that diverge from traditional routes taken by other travelers. Through vivid descriptions and anecdotes, he sets the stage for a remarkable journey filled with insights into both the ancient and contemporary life of the region.
