"I found, somewhat to my surprise, that (.) an ordinary visitor who tries to observe for himself can still do something to promote a better understanding of its topography and history." In his excellent study he concentrates on the Biblical places Michmash, Elah, Gilboa, and Shiloh, and the rich history that is connected with them.
