The Desert Route To India Being The Journals Of Four Travellers By The Great Desert Caravan Route Between Aleppo And Basra 1745-1751

About the Book:-The author has discussed the journals of four travellers in William Beawes, Gaylard Roberts, Bartholomew Plaisted, and John Carmichael in this book. In view of the ever-growing desire for fast communication between East and West—Europe and the Orient—the achievements and experiences of the earlier travellers demand even greater attention. For the most modern lines of communication with the Orient are harking back to the most ancient. Even as the growth of sea-borne trade destroyed the old caravan-traffic, so the air-lines of the present day are in many cases superseding the ocean routes and are actually reverting to those well worn tracks so familiar to the pioneers of Eastern commerce.
