In the Little Traveled Caucasus (Q98758961)

It is only a short journey from the civilized cities of southeastern Russia into the rugged wilds of the Caucasus, that mountainous boundary land between the orient and the occident, where the manners and customs of mediaeval times still prevail and a man’s daily life is still chock full of thrilling adventure and stirring romance.

There are nearly 40,000 Jews in the Caucasus, who form a race apart. The Russians call them “mountain Jews.” They herd together in small communities—often in separate villages—and have nothing to do with the rest of the people. They never enter the towns or the cities, but are content to lead the simple, pastoral life of Abraham. (English)
