The first in a two-volume series on pilgrims who visited ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in the Holy Land. The present volume covers the time from 1897 until the Master’s departure on His journey to the West in 1911.
Virtually all pilgrims and many other visitors wrote down what ‘Abdu’l-Bahá said, including many of His talks, both formal and informal. Their accounts provide a great wealth of stories that help illustrate who ‘Abdu’l-Bahá was in the context of history and how he taught and interacted with others. Most of these accounts come from personal diaries and letters initially written in longhand, though many were later typed. They offer a fascinating and moving testimony to how ‘Abdu’l-Bahá affected and transformed those He met, described in their own words.
