The voices of Americans have long been absent from studies of
modern Egypt. Most scholars assume that Americans were either not
in Egypt in significant numbers during the nineteenth century or
had little of importance to say. This volume shows that neither was
the case by introducing and relating the experiences and attitudes
of 15 American personalities who worked, lived, or traveled in
Egypt from the 1770s to the commencement of World War I. Often in
their own words, explorers, consuls, tourists, soldiers,
missionaries, artists, scientists, and scholars offer a rare
American perspective on everyday Egyptian life and provide a new
perspective on many historically significant events. The stories of
these individuals and their sojourns not only recount the culture
and history of Egypt but also convey the domination of the country
by European powers and the support for Egypt by a young American
nation.
