In old times pilgrims toiled over thousands of weary miles on foot and suffered many perils on land or sea in their long journey to the Holy Land; but you and I need only to board a luxurious ocean steamer. Our pilgrimage will be to the Holy Land too, and on the way we shall see many other strange and interesting countries, for I wish to take you with me on a trip lasting many weeks, along the warm shores of that greatest of inland seas, the Mediterranean. There we shall see many lands famous in the history of the world. Over the blue Mediterranean the Ph nicians, the earliest sailors and traders we know about, rowed their small boats. Along its shores coasted the Greek triremes, with their three banks of oars and their one large sail, on their peaceful journeys to their colonies in Italy or Sicily. On its surface floated the war galleys of the proud Romans, bearing the soldiers who were to meet and subdue all the nations around its shores. Later the cruel Turks crossed it, fighting to set the crescent of Mohammed above the cross of Christ. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
