Photograph is in a book with a description beneath ; printed description: "(John, ii:12.)--'After this he went down to Capernaum,
he and his mother, and his brethren and his disciples, and they continued there not many days.' The artist and the writer
left Capernaum about 12 o'clock, noon, and reached this place about half-past two. We passed over between Capernaum and Khan
Jubb Yusef, the roughest road, perhaps, on earth. Our dragoman said it was called the devil's backbone. Yet it is the old
caravan road from Egypt to Damascus, and has been traveled in all ages. On the last ridge, just before we reach Khan Jubb
Yusef, we had out last glimpse of the Sea of Galilee and our first full view of Mount Hermon. Khan Jubb Yusef means the Inn
of Joseph's Well, for there is a tradition among the Mohammedans that here Joseph's brethren threw him into the well. There
is no doubt but that our Savior often retired into these wild and lonely regions for meditation and prayer." See 5454BAI/LVii180CAJS
