Summary "Syria, the Land of Lebanon" by Lewis Gaston Leary is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The author provides an intimate exploration of the geography, culture, and history of Syria, particularly focusing on the significant region of Lebanon. The work appears to reflect Leary's personal experiences and affection for the country, exploring its natural beauty and historic landmarks while offering insights into the lives of its people. At the start of the book, Leary describes the stunning landscape of Lebanon as his ship approaches the shore, providing vivid imagery of the mountains and valleys that characterize the region. He discusses the importance of Lebanon in both biblical history and its cultural significance, outlining the various cities, mountains, and valleys that contribute to its identity. The preface further emphasizes Leary's desire to showcase Syria's rich heritage and beauty, which is often overshadowed by its more famous neighbor, Israel.
