A Ride through Syria to Damascus and Baalbec, and ascent of Mount Hermon

by Edward Abram

About the author

Born in 1838 and dying in 1899, Edward Abram is remembered through a small body of 19th-century travel writing rather than a widely documented personal biography.

His known books include A Ride through Syria to Damascus and Baalbec, and Ascent of Mount Hermon. That work presents a firsthand-style journey through the eastern Mediterranean and also identifies him as the author of A Ride Through Palestine and The Seven Churches of Asia, suggesting a clear interest in travel connected with history and biblical geography.

Reliable biographical detail about his life appears to be limited in the sources available here, so it is safest to describe him as a late-19th-century travel writer whose work focused on the Holy Land and nearby regions.
