About This Book

The author records a voyage around the Black Sea and visits port cities and inland regions in Asia Minor, Armenia, the Caucasus, Circassia, Daghestan, the Crimea, and Roumania, blending travel description with commentary on local customs, architecture, and landscape. He reports on urban life in places such as Trebizond, Tiflis, Odessa, and Sevastopol; examines infrastructure projects and railway concessions; assesses the Caspian oil fields; recounts Armenian persecutions and the massacres of 1909; surveys missionary, educational, and humanitarian work including American schools and Robert College; and observes social change, including the emancipation of Turkish women, while offering portraits of regional peoples and historical sites such as Mount Ararat.
