This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Adventure in the West Indies The present volume contains so few allusions to the preceding one that it is quite capable of being read as an independent production, being, on the face of it, a friendly effort to portray, by means of words and pictures, the beauty, the commercial products and the people of the West Indian Islands. Something more, however, than a mere description has been attempted by drawing attention to several of the causes which have adversely affected the prosperity of these places. The predictions made in the former volume relative to the results of the monopoly of the Panama Canal, and to the desirability of having an international waterway, have already been verified by the dispute about the canal-dues, and by the action of the United States in making negotiations for a suzerainty over Nicaragua, for the purpose of preventing other nations from using this alternative route. Owing to such unremitting American activity which is fast absorbing the Spanish-speaking Republics, Great Britain cannot afford to neglect her West Indian Islands, which are so near the scene of these vast changes that they must be implicated in them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Boy's Adventures in the West IndiesThat vast assemblage of islands, lying between the two American continents, and stretching over some fifteen degrees of latitude, is known collectively as the West Indies. It IS composed of three dif ferent groups: the Bahamas, lying nearest to Florida, and composed of coral islands and keys; the Greater Antilles, containing the great islands of Cuba, Hayti, jamaica, and Porto Rico; and the Lesser Antilles, or Caribbees. These last were our destination, as they seemed to promise us most profit, in the way of new birds, plants, and strange adventures. Unlike the coralline Bahamas and the primitive Antilles, these Caribbees are volcanic, each island an extinct volcano, shooting abruptly up from the ocean depths; and each mountain clothed from base to summit in a tropical vegetation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of the West Indies Grenada, St. Lucia, and St. Thomas all possess hand books, short, concise, and handy in size, but Dominica and St. Vincent have not yet produced any of the kind. Of literature dealing with the West Indies generally there is enough and to spare. And the easy grace and fearless recklessness with which writers discourse upon West Indian matters has for many years been a living source of wonder to the West Indians themselves. Froude, Bulkley, Sewell, Walker, are but four out of many people who have written on the subject. The West Indian opinion of Froude is perhaps better left unprinted. But the indignation which he aroused in 1889 and 1890 is amusingly put by J. J. Thomas in a work entitled Froudacity, or West Indian Fables by James Anthony F roude, explained by J. J.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cradle of the Deep: An Account of a Voyage to the West Indies That fervent spirit of adventure and romance which set aglow the heart of every lad in every sea town of England, when Elizabeth was queen, found both its source and its end among the West Indies and by the Spanish Main. The palm-covered island, the secret creek, the white-walled Spanish town formed the scene of ever-inspiring dreams. The boy from the grandmotherly coaster, who found his way into Plymouth Sound, would sit on a bollard on the quay and listen to sun browned men talking of Indians and sea fights, of Plate ships and pieces of eight, until his soul so burned within him that he turned upon his own homely craft, and shipped as powder-boy on the first galliasse making for the heroic West. In these fair islands were gold and pearls, they said, as well as birds and beasts beyond the imagination of man. Here under the steaming sun of the tropics the pirate harried the sea, and here, in blood, smoke, and cutlass hacks his tale was writ. In coves among the islands he careened his ship and hid his treasure, in blue sea alleys he watched for Spanish merchantmen, and in fever-stricken jungles he rotted and died. For over a century the famous Buccaneers were the terror of the Spanish Main, while to every sturdy British lad, for all these years, the call of the sea rover was as the call of the wild.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Storied West Indies Assuming that no literary work is considered Complete without its proem, or introduction, this shall be my excuse for narrating how this particular book came into being. I can hardly claim that it was by chance; yet it resulted indirectly from my first visit to the West Indies, in 1877, when, as an ornithologist ardently in love with Nature, I went there in search of birds. My self-imposed task took me into the forests and mountains, to dwell with the Carib Indians and negroes, as well as with the white cultivators of the coast plantations. From them I obtained a great deal of information that seemed to me of value, aside from that relevant to the subject of my investiga tions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The West Indies In the following pages I have endeavoured to lay before the reader a sketch of the West India Islands from the time of their discovery to the present date. Regarded in a purely historical light, the annals of the Antilles are fraught with the deepest interest; for they portray most painfully the debasement consequent on slavery - a moral deterioration not confined to the wretched victims of an odious system, but exercising an equally pernicious influence on the ruling class, to whatever nationality they belonged. Spaniards, Frenchmen, and Englishmen have all been guilty of terrible excesses in that fair quarter of the globe; but, while betraying just indignation at the cruelties perpetrated by other nations, I have made no unfair effort to gloss over the deeds of my own countrymen.

The book pleased with all its faults, and with all its faults it shall remain. But in this awful crisis of our country, when the right hand of the colonial power of Eng land is hacked at with a pertinacious hatred, of which there is no example in the history of domestic treason or foreign hostility, I will no longer scruple the expedience of putting the author's humble name to a work, which was written in a deep conviction of the immense importance of the rest Indies to our maritime superiority, and of the truth of the political views of which, in respect of the conduct of the Abolitionists, the events of every day and hour more and more persuade me.
