Henry Caplin, Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Sandeman, M.P., and Mr. Hazelwood, a director of the Bank of England, agreed to send Major Upton to Aleppo to Mr. Skene, they to go into the desert and choose and secure the horses. It is reported that the final cost of the undertaking was £20,000 ($100,000).Both Skene and Upton were fine Arabic scholars, besides being excellent horsemen." He goes on to note that: "The results of Upton's visit were written in two books, 'Newmarket and Arabia,' a sketchy statement of early impressions, and a more serious work, 'Gleanings from the Desert of Arabia,' published after his death." in which he explored the language, history and culture of the Arabs in the first two parts, and the history and breeding of the horses in the third part.
