The Land of Gilead: With Excursions in the Lebanon is a travelogue written by Laurence Oliphant and published in 1880. The book is a detailed account of the author’s travels to the region of Gilead, which is located in present-day Jordan, and his excursions to the mountain range of Lebanon.The book is divided into two parts. The first part describes Oliphant’s journey to Gilead, his encounters with the local Bedouin tribes, and his exploration of the ancient ruins of the region. The author provides vivid descriptions of the landscape, the people, and the history of the area.The second part of the book is dedicated to Oliphant’s excursions in the Lebanon. He describes his travels through the mountains, his encounters with the Druze people, and his visits to the ancient cities of Baalbek and Damascus. The author also provides insights into the political situation of the region, including the ongoing conflicts between the Ottoman Empire and the European powers.Overall, The Land of Gilead: With Excursions in the Lebanon is a fascinating account of a journey through a region that was relatively unknown to Western audiences at the time. Oliphant’s writing is engaging and informative, and his descriptions of the landscape and the people of the area are vivid and evocative.
