Author Description

Excerpt from To-Day on the Nile Many motives may bring the tourist to Egypt. But when he first sets foot on her shores, or rather even when his thoughts first turn thither, he feels that Egypt is some thing more than a mere health or pleasure resort. Egypt has a history longer and more interesting than any other land. And this history is not represented entirely by books written in a dead and unknown language, but has its tangible, almost living memorials of every epoch.
