Book Overview

The Gold-Mines Of Midian And The Ruined Midianite Cities: A Fortnight�������s Tour In Northwestern Arabia is a book written by Richard F. Burton. The book is a detailed account of Burton's travels through northwestern Arabia, where he explored the region's gold mines and the ruined cities of the Midianites. Burton was a British explorer, geographer, translator, and writer who traveled extensively throughout Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. In this book, he recounts his journey through the deserts of Arabia, where he encountered various tribes and explored ancient ruins. The book is divided into several chapters, each detailing a different aspect of Burton's journey. He describes the landscape, the people he met, and the difficulties he faced during his travels. He also provides a historical and archaeological perspective on the Midianite civilization, which he believed to be one of the oldest in the world. Overall, The Gold-Mines Of Midian And The Ruined Midianite Cities: A Fortnight�������s Tour In Northwestern Arabia is a fascinating account of a journey through a remote and little-known region of the world. Burton's vivid descriptions and insights into the history and culture of the area make this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and geography of the Middle East.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Historical Treasure

It was wonderful to secure this unassuming volume for my personal library! Filled with actual diary entries by Sir Richard, it carries the reader through a 19th century travelogue which bares unexpected fruit relative to the historical veracity of the Holy Bible!
