- Description
- We stopped to take a closer look at the Nomad encampment. And, as you can see they also took a closer look at us. Our vehicle is an American Willys Jeep. It could carry four persons in the back and one or two more in the front plus the driver. Add about 4 more people if they are all Afghans. Russian jeeps were larger but not considered as dependable under the strains Afghans put on their vehicles. The Blair Brainard Peace Corps in Afghanistan Photographic Collection captures the photographers experience as a Peace Corps volunteer in Afghanistan, primarily in the city of Herat, 1965-1968.
