"The city was en fete; the streets were vivid with noise and color, and because of the fine weather many visitors had come in from the country round about to see the sights and buy and sell in the crowded bazars. Before the shop of Ibrahim the Jeweler, in the goldsmith's quarter, a little cavalcade had drawn up, blocking the narrow way." "American author, playwright and screen writer Frederic Arnold Kummer was born on 5 August, 1873 at Cantonsville, Maryland, to Arnold and Mary Morris Kummer. His father, who had emigrated from Germany in 1859 and had fought in the American Civil War, was part owner of Kummer & Becker, a banking and brokerage house in Baltimore that also acted as agents for the North German Lloyd Steamship Line. Before Kummer turned to writing full time in 1907, he had been the chief engineer for the American Wood Preserving Company and later general manager of the Eastern Paving Block Company. Kummer was an 1894 graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where he had earned a degree in civil engineering. In 1901 he was awarded the Collingwood prize by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) for a paper he wrote on wood block paving techniques.". Very Good+ in Very Good dust jacket .
