"My Three Days in Gilead" by Elmer U. Hoenshel is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century, likely in the first decade of the 1900s. This book encapsulates the author's personal experiences and reflections during his journey through the ancient region of Gilead, which is rich in biblical history and stunning landscapes. The work combines elements of travel writing and historical account, as it aims to rekindle interest in an area that often goes unexplored by modern tourists despite its significant connections to biblical narratives. The narrative follows Hoenshel, who, accompanied by his dragoman William Barakat and a local Arab guide, embarks on an adventurous journey through the rugged terrains of Gilead. Throughout the three days, Hoenshel encounters breathtaking landscapes, intricately woven with stories from biblical times. He travels through Damascus, Bashan, and Gerasa, observing local customs and the remnants of ancient civilizations. His days are marked by challenging rides on horseback, interactions with Bedouins, and contemplations on the historical significance of the places he visits. The author shares vivid descriptions of the scenery and expresses a deep appreciation for the cultural and historical layers of Gilead, ultimately reflecting on how these experiences have enriched his understanding of faith and history.
