Here, collected in book form for the first time, are the letters written by Mark Twain on the famous Holy Land Excursion of 1867--letters that Twain once said would ruin him if published. Twain, a brash young journalist with one book under his belt, was one of seventy-seven passengers on the steamship Quaker City when it left New York in June 1867, to begin The Grand Holy Land Pleasure Excursion. As special correspondent for the Daily Alta California, Twain wrote fifty letters during the next six months, describing in detail the places visited and the sights seen as the pilgrims journeyed from Tangier to Paris, then to Venice, Constantinople, and Bethlehem--with many stops in between.
