The Land of Midian (Revisited) — Volume 1
Richard Francis, Sir Burton
Sir Richard Burton went back to the land of Midian chasing ancient mines and desert gold. This first volume marches through the northern wastes, part exploration, part treasure hunt, part study of a scorched biblical country. Burton's restless eye misses nothing. Adventure and archaeology from one of the great Victorian travelers. Cross the burning sands of Arabia's forgotten frontier. Follow the old caravan routes.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
