Description
1855 Lands of Saracens Middle East Palestine Turkey Jerusalem Bayard Taylor
Bayard Taylor was a 19th-century travel writer whose abundant notes and reports have been referenced for decades since the mid-1800s. Taylor’s writings have even been quoted by politicians and authors who supported his racial discriminatory views.
While still a teenager, Taylor traveled into the Middle East, visiting Egypt, Syria, Palestine, and Asia Minor. While on this journey, he gathered letters and experiences that led him to write ‘Lands of the Saracen’. In this book, Taylor recounts various scenes from Palestine, including meetings in Jerusalem and a curious ‘American Colony’ at Artos, near Bethlehem. (Davis).
