Entries from the diary of Henrietta Wilbur describing the Wilburs' 1956 trip to Afghanistan, starting in Boise and ending in Boise. This is not the 1957 trip documented by photos in this collection; Henrietta Wilbur's 1957 diary (if she kept one)...
A Morrison-Knudsen employee by an buried archway, possibly the ruins of the ancient hill city of Kala Bist (Qala Bist), where the Helmand and Arghandab rivers meet.
An unidentifed structure, possibly ancient ruins, possibly the ruins of the ancient hill city of Kala Bist (Qala Bist), where the Helmand and Arghandab rivers meet.
Three men pose on the ruins of the ancient hill city of Kala Bist (Qala Bist), where the Helmand and Arghandab rivers meet. The arch in the background is part of the castle structure. A yellow Willys Jeep helps with perspective.
An unidentifed man from the tour group walking along side ruins of an ancient wall, possibly the ruins of the ancient hill city of Kala Bist (Qala Bist), where the Helmand and Arghandab rivers meet.
The Wilbur tour group stops for a picture on the Boghra diversion dam near Gerishk, where the Arghandab and Helmand rivers meet. Wilbur captioned this slide "Girish Power Plant."
