Excerpt from The Gateway to the Sahara: Adventures and Observations in Tripoli Nowhere in Northern Africa can the life Of town, oasis, and desert be found more native and typical than in Tripolitania. How long before the primitive customs of this people will give way before the progressive aggression of some Christian power, and the picture Of an ancient patriarchal life be tarnished with the cheap veneer of a commercial vanguard, may be answered any morning by the cable news of the daily paper. The great dynamic forces of modern civiliza tion cause events to march with astounding swiftness. Tripoli, in Barbary, is already in the eye of Europe, to-morrow the Tripoli of to-day may have vanished. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
