Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Stark´s History and Guide to Barbados and the Caribbee Islands: Containing a Description of Everything on or About These Islands of Which the Visitor or Resident May Desire Information, Including Their History, Inhabitants, Climate, Agriculture, Geology, Government and Resources; Fully Illustrated With Maps, Engraving My purpose in writing this book has been to introduce to the notice of those unacquainted with the Caribbee Islands and Barbados, some of the many attractions to be found there, how to reach these beautiful islands, their resources and productions; and a brief history of their discovery and settlement; also the manners and customs of the inhabitants, and a complete index and guide to all points of interest. These islands are now passing through a transition state, what their industrial and political future will be, it is impossible to tell. I have related, however, what in my opinion, (based upon my observations there and elsewhere), would be the result if the negroes were allowed to rule. In compiling this work, every authority that it was possible to obtain on the subjects contained therein, has been consulted, and the information embodied in this work. Much of the matter is compiled from such authorities as Ligon´s and Schomburgk´s, histories of Barbados, Moxley Guide to Barbados, Froude´s English in the West Indies, Paton´s Down the Islands, Black America, and many other works too numerous to mention. The author also takes pleasure in acknowledging his indebtedness to Mr. James Howell of Barbados, and Mr. George S. Locke, Supt. of the Quebec Steamship Co., and others, for the many courtesies extended to him during his visit to these islands.
