If anyone, besides myself and Philip, are interested in "Jonesborourgh", 
the copy of the 1858 tour guide I downloaded is incomplete.  When 
attempting to find a description of the route followed in Murray's guide 
I discovered that the scanned copy is only "Part One" and does not 
contain  detailed information on the tours.  It merely mentions  a route 
between Banias and Damascus. The Baedeker guide, from 1898 is complete 
but there are no details about Kefr Hawar aside from the fact that it is 
a common stop between Damascus and Banias.  I'm awaiting a hard copy of 
the 1858 guide book.  I don't know if 40 years makes for much difference 
describing the landscape of this region.  Both of my copies of tour 
guides are from Google Books.
