3K001 A trip from Herat to Chesht-i-Sharif
In the summer of 1967, I met Paul W. English, Professor of Geography at the University of Texas. He was in Herat for the summer visiting and learning about the city. Through him, I was introduced to Richard N. Frye, who was also visiting in Herat. At Paul English's suggestion, I traveled with Dr. Frye on a trip from Herat up the Hari Rud (Herat River) to the shrine at Chest-i-Sharif, about 90 miles east of Herat. I went because I was interested in any excuse to travel in Afghanistan. (At this time I was working in the Herat branch of the National Tourist Office.) I had no real idea who Dr Frye was until much later. All I knew at the time was that he and his son were great traveling companions and that Dr Frye was very learned about Afghanistan. This is a picture of a camel and her baby along side the road. All of the camels in the area of Herat were of the "one humped" dromedary variety.

Alongside the road we also saw a number of caves in the mountain side. Dr Frye speculated about the purpose of the caves and wondered if they could have been Buddhist in origin but we didn't stop to explore.

The Minaret of Jam stands 213 feet tall and is located in a narrow remote mountainous valley on the bank of the Herat River. it is the second highest minaret in the world. It was unknown by most of the workd until the late 1950's. Of course the local villagers in the area knew about it. The minaret was built during the Ghurid Dynasty (1148-1202). The purpose of the minaret is unclear. It is often assumed it marks the site of the Ghurid capitol of Firuzkoh but considering the size and remoteness of the valley where it is located, this seems unlikely<br>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.- Creator

Almost immediately after crossing the bridge and starting up the road/stream bed, we met a group of nomads coming down the road from the central highlands. and we had to pull over to let them pass. On this road camels had the right-of way, so we pulled over to the side of the road and watched them pass. <br>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.- Creator
