A Vacation on the Nile: A Collection of Letters Written to Friends at Home (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Journey with a Paris of letters from the Nile to classical shores .
A travelogue told through the private letters of Lewis Parkhurst, written during a 1912–1913 voyage from New York to Egypt and back.
A travel memoir in which a son, his wife, and friends join a modest, eager party aboard the Adriatic for a winter-length exploration of Egypt’s wonders. The author shares day-by-day impressions of sailing the Nile, the people they meet, and the ancient temples, tombs, and landscapes that shaped their journey. Rich with observations, it offers a personal view of early 20th‑century travel and collecting memories to print for friends at home.- Firsthand travel letters that capture seas, ports, and desert scenery along the Nile.
- Vivid descriptions of temples, tombs, and monumental ruins from Luxor to Aswan.
- Illustrations drawn from period photographs to complement the journey.
- A window into how a traveling party documented life on the road in print-on-demand form.
