| Notes: |
Photograph is in a book with a description beneath ; printed description: "(I.Samuel, xi: 14, 15.)--'Then said Samuel to the
people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there. And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made
Saul king before the Lord in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the Lord; and there Saul
and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.' This beautiful aqueduct, now used for carrying the water from Elisha's fountain
into Jericho, stands in the region of ancient Gilgal. This is an historic spot. In the fields and plains around this aqueduct
we are told that one went to gather herbs to make pottage for the sons of the prophets, when he found a wild vine and gathered
wild gourds from it to mix with the pottage. Elijah and Elisha passed this way from Jericho to Jordan. It is in the neighborhood
of the city of palm trees." Copyright year and photographer's name are printed at the bottom of the photograph, along with
"Franklin Co Eng-Chi." See 5426BAI/LVii152CAJS (Voyager # 362443)
