| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "From Vermont to Damascus : Returning by way of Beyrout, Smyrna, Ephesus,…." by Adna Brown is a travelogue written in the late 19th century. It compiles a Vermonter’s letters from an “Oriental tour,” blending vivid on-the-spot observations with practical travel advice and illustrations. The likely focus is a guided journey through Italy, Egypt, the Holy Land, and parts of Europe, narrated with Protestant-American sensibilities and an eye for history, scenery, and everyday customs. The opening of the book traces Brown’s decision to escape a harsh Vermont winter by joining Dr. A. E. Dunning’s organized tour, the departure from New York on the steamship Normannia, and a lively Atlantic crossing via the Azores to Gibraltar and Algiers. It then covers first impressions of Naples and its environs (museums, the royal palace, Sorrento, Pompeii, Vesuvius), followed by Rome and Tivoli (St. Peter’s, the Vatican, the Pantheon, the Forum and Palatine ruins), and a rail run to Brindisi. From there the party sails to Alexandria, notes the shock of North African street life, and rides to Cairo to embark on the Nile steamer Memphis. A brisk sequence of Nile stops ensues—donkey rides to Memphis and Beni-Hassan, a night visit to a vast sugar works, Assiout’s mission service, irrigation methods, the temple at Denderah, and extended days amid the ruins of Luxor/Thebes—continuing upriver to Esneh, Edfu, Assouan, and Philæ. Returning to Cairo, Brown sketches modern and old quarters, mosques and bazaars, social and religious customs, the pyramids, a call on a wealthy sheik, the howling dervishes, the museum, and preparations to move on toward Palestine.
