Excerpt from Six Months in Persia, Vol. 2 of 2 12th to 14th May, Halt at Yazd. - The first stage of our march to Isfahan was a short one. It is always difficult to get a caravan away in good time from quarters where they have been comfortably settled for a few days. We had the honour of a cavalry escort, who performed some respectable feats of equitation, such as firing at a mark while in full gallop, dismounting and remounting at the same pace, firing under the horse's neck while lying hidden along his side, and so on.

Excerpt from Six Months in Persia, Vol. 1 of 2 Travelling through such a country, even by rail, tends to become monotonous; and the break at Rori is gladly welcomed, where low limestone hills run down to the Indus, and the steamer waits to ferry passengers across to Sakkar. Here one may see a quaint picture in blue and grey. On the hither side, the houses of Rori, in a uniform grey tint, rise straight from the water's edge to a height of four and five stories, with rows of windows which look only half oriental, and give the river-face a curious resemblance to the back of some old Scotch town. Sakkar answers from over the river with exactly the same dull colour, while in the middle, on a long island, the walls and huge round bastions of Bakkar cast a grey shade over the blue waters. Her palaces and mosques are built of mud, once made bright with coloured tiles, but these have mostly fallen away. The presence of a newer civilization is proclaimed by the bright red of the brick-built railway station, and of the barracks within the old grey fort; but perhaps our predecessors chose the cooler style of building, and certainly they chose the more picturesque. An air of old-fashioned peacefulness and rest hangs over the whole scene, under the quiet morning light. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1882 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter V. zaeda kuh to teheran. Seventy-four Farsakhs: Seventeen Days. 27th June, Sulaijan, 4 farsakhs; 7.10 a.m. to noon.--We marched three farsakhs along the left bank of the river, past several holms where Arab cattle were pasturing. The Arabs live not in black tents but in square flat-roofed huts of reeds. They seemed poorer even than the Bakhtiaris, but their cows and heifers were many. We passed large spaces once covered with the crops of villages, but now open grazing-land. It is said that the Afghans destroyed 333 villages in Zarda Kuh, and the land has remained waste ever since. We left the river and turned up a defile called the Tang-i-gazin or pass of tamarisk. The river narrows after passing the mouth of the defile, and flows under high cliffs. It was in this defile that Rustam cut the forked twig of tamarisk which, when shaped into an arrow, put out both the eyes of Afrasiab at once, and gave the victory to the Persian champion. Crossing the heights, we came down on the river again. I was riding in advance with our Khan. We passed a horseman, armed and alone; some others rode nearer the river, half a mile below. The horseman spoke to me in Persian, asking my nationality and business, and then interchanged a few words in Luri or Bakhtiari with the Khan; who, riding up to me as we passed on, said, " That man was talking nonsense." "What nonsense?" I asked. "He was saying that had I not been safeguarding you, he would have robbed you." I doubted considerably whether this was a correct version of their conversation; and Sayyid Ali, to whom the Khan subsequently narrated the incident, treated the thing as a fiction. We had now to ford the river, being here about sixty yards broad, with a strong stream up to the girths of the...
