15 / 28

“Here we are starting from the famous Plains of Sharon, where more battles have been fought than anywhere else in the world. It was here, you will recall, that the flower of Christian chivalry, the Knights Templar, and the Knights of St. John were defeated by the vast horded under Saladin.”

-Lowell Thomas
“With Allenby in Palestine” (1919)
