Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For fans of Black Sails and Crossbones comes a new history of the Golden Age of Piracy. . . In the early eighteenth century a number of the great pirate captains, including Edward 'Blackbeard' Teach and 'Black Sam' Bellamy, joined forces. This infamous 'Flying Gang' was more than simply a thieving band of brothers. Many of its members had come to piracy as a revolt against conditions in the merchant fleet and in the cities and plantations in the Old and New Worlds. Inspired by notions of self-government, they established a crude but distinctive form of democracy in the Bahamas, carving out their own zone of freedom in which indentured servants were released and leaders chosen or deposed by a vote. They were ultimately overcome by their archnemesis, Captain Woodes Rogers-a merchant fleet owner and former privateer - and the brief but glorious Republic of Pirates came to an end.Meticulously researched and full of incident and adventure, The Republic of Pirates brings to life an extraordinary forgotten chapter of history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nassau, Island of New Providence, Bahamas: A Guide to the Sanitarium of the Western Hemisphere, Its Attractions, and How to Get There It extends along the waterfront for about three miles and back to the crest of the slope, on which stands the Government House, the Royal Victoria Hotel, and many of the finest private residences, at an elevation of about 90 feet from the waters of the harbor. The streets are laid out at right angles with each other, and are uniformly macadamized, as are also the drives around the Island. The houses are, for the most part, built of stone, and the grounds surrounding them are ornamented with flowers and trees. The City has a fine public library of over supply fish in abundance, unrivaled for beauty and size. The Royal Victoria Hotel was built by the Government in i 860, to meet the demands of invalids and others seeking to avail themselves of the peculiar advantages offered by Nassau for a winter residence, and neither pains nor expense was spared in answering the requirements of the most modern and scientific theories of architecture. The building is of limestone, four stories high; each of the three first stories being surrounded by a piazza ten feet wide, forming an uninterrupted promenade of Street In Nassau. six thousand volumes. Nassau has as much right to be called the City of Churches as our own Brooklyn. All creeds find themselves at home in the services of the various churches and chapels. Tiic drives are not to be excelled the roads being equal to the best; the scenery, both seaward and inland, is varied and beautiful, and the harbor and neighboring waters afford at once a safe and extensive boating ground; while the shores are covered with marine treasures in the form of shells and corals.

The rooms are large and perfectly ventilated; those of the first, second and third stories being provided with French casements, opening on the piazza, and each door and window having a fanlight. The house is provided with bathrooms and other modern improvements. The tanks for rain water exceed 300, 000 gallons in capacity; while spring water is forced through the building from a fine well on the premises.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Providence and Paradise Islands, Bahamas. Travel and Tourism. What New Providence lacks in size, it more than makes up for in energy, attitude and devil-may-care spirit. In fact, this 34km-long powerhouse of an island is a perfect fit for the extroverted tourist with money to burn. Plummet down a 15m waterslide, puff on a hand-rolled stogie, place your bets on a high-stakes hand and carouse like a pirate into the wee hours it's all there for the grabbing. But all is not lost for quieter types, who can escape the beach-bar and cruise-ship scene with minimal effort. Behind Nassau's eager touristic facade are engaging museums, historic buildings and locally owned restaurants that are crowd-free and full of personality. The western end of the island is set aside as a handsome heritage park, and there are some good snorkeling and diving sites a little way offshore. Paradise Island is a tiny (1.1 sq. mile) satellite island located off the northern edges of New Providence island. It was earlier lying undeveloped and was then known as Hog Island. It's only 5kms away from Nassau and joined by two bridges with the island of New Providence.

This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Saunders resoundingly affirms the relevance of island history. Scholars will appreciate the detail and insights."--Choice "Deftly unravels the complex historical interrelationships of race, color, class, economics, and environment in the Colonial Bahamas. An invaluable study for scholars who conduct comparative research on the British Caribbean."--Rosalyn Howard, author of Black Seminoles in the Bahamas "Saunders is to be commended for a scholarly study that prominently features the non-white majority in the Bahamas--a group which usually has been overlooked."--Whittington B. Johnson, author of Post-Emancipation Race Relations in The Bahamas In this one-of-a-kind study of race and class in the Bahamas, Gail Saunders shows how racial tensions were not necessarily parallel to those across other British West Indian colonies but instead mirrored the inflexible color line of the United States. Proximity to the U.S. and geographic isolation from other British colonies created a uniquely Bahamian interaction among racial groups. Focusing on the post-emancipation period from the 1880s to the 1960s, Saunders considers the entrenched, though extra-legal, segregation prevalent in most spheres of life that lasted well into the 1950s. Saunders traces early black nationalist and pan-Africanism movements, as well as the influence of Garveyism and Prohibition during World War I. She examines the economic depression of the 1930s and the subsequent boom in the tourism industry, which boosted the economy but worsened racial tensions: proponents of integration predicted disaster if white tourists ceased traveling to the islands. Despite some upward mobility of mixed-race and black Bahamians, the economy continued to be dominated by the white elite, and trade unions and labor-based parties came late to the Bahamas. Secondary education, although limited to those who could afford it, was the route to a better life for nonwhite Bahamians and led to mixed-race and black persons studying in professional fields, which ultimately brought about a rising political consciousness. Training her lens on the nature of relationships among the various racial and social groups in the Bahamas, Saunders tells the story of how discrimination persisted until at last squarely challenged by the majority of Bahamians.
