Captain Sir Richard Francis Burton''s 19th travelogue is simply fascinating. In disguise and (I''m assuming he''s accurate in this) at great risk to himself, Burton made a pilgrimage to Medina and Mecca. His intimate observations of customs, daily life, and travel in a foreign land are the sort that one sees best through the fresh eyes of an outsider, but normally an outsider would be denied that vantage.
