This book apparently is his survey of the area.
Gottlieb Schumacher (21 November 1857 – 26 November 1925) was an
American-born civil engineer, architect and archaeologist of German descent,
who was an important figure in the early archaeological exploration of Palestine.
Schumacher was born in Zanesville, Ohio, where his parents had immigrated from
Tübingen, Germany. His father, Jacob Schumacher, was a member of the Temple
Society, a German Protestant sect which in the 1860s established the German
Colony in Haifa, Palestine. In 1869, Jacob Schumacher settled with his family
in the Templer colony, where he became the chief architect and builder.
Gottlieb studied engineering in Germany, and then returned to Palestine in 1881.
He quickly became a leading figure in the construction of roads and houses.
He was appointed Chief Engineer for the Province of Akko by the Ottoman
government. Among his many works were the Scottish hostels in Safed
and Tiberias, the Russian hostel in Nazareth, the cellars of the Rothschild
winery at Rishon LeZion, and the bridge over the Kishon River.
One of his most important projects was the survey of the Golan, Hauran,
and Ajlun districts, in preparation for the construction of the Damascus-Haifa
railway, which branched off from the Hejaz railway at Deraa. As part of the
same development he also extended the mole of the port of Haifa.
In the course of this survey he produced the first accurate maps of these
regions, along with detailed descriptions of the archaeological remains and the contemporary villages.
