Walter Harris, longtime correspondent in Morocco, sets out from Marrakesh, crosses the High Atlas among the Berber tribes, and descends through Dads and the southern valleys toward Tafilet, the great oasis on the Saharan fringe. He records palm groves and walled ksars, chieftains and markets, and the risks facing a European so far beyond the Sultan’s reach.

A bold travel narrative of a region few Europeans had then seen, illustrated from the author’s own sketches. Download the free EPUB.
