She rode through Syria and Palestine and paid attention to the people instead of the ruins. Ada Goodrich-Freer travelled the country on horseback at the turn of the century, curious about the villages, the households, the customs and the folklore that pilgrims galloped straight past on their way to the holy sites. Sharp, opinionated travel from a formidable observer.
