Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Island of Antigua, Vol. 1: One of the Leeward Caribbees in the West Indies, From the First Settlement in 1635 to the Present Time The various Papers and Pedigrees comprised in these two Volumes have been gradually accumulated during the last seven years. Having commenced by collecting information about my own family, which was formerly settled at Antigua, I was soon led to make notes of many others connected by marriage, and finally to compile the Pedigrees of all those formerly resident there. I then visited the Island, and during my stay from December 1888 to March 1st, 1889, made copious extracts from the parish registers and local records, besides copying all the monumental inscriptions in the various churchyards and plantation burial-grounds. Here I gratefully record my thanks to Sir William Frederick Haynes-Smith, the Governor of the Leeward Islands; to Captain I. C. Maling, then Acting-Secretary; to Mr. Octavius Humphrys, the Registrar of Wills and Deeds; to the various Rectors; and to my kind friends Messrs. Thomas Dickson Foote, John Foote, Arthur Shand, Oliver Nugent, John Jarvis, and others. The information thus acquired on the Island was subsequently largely augmented by a search through the Colonial Papers at the Public Record Office, Mrs. Vernona T. C. Smith materially assisting by making extracts for me from the Close Rolls; and my thanks are also due to Mr. Chaloner Smith, the head of the Literary Search Department at Somerset House, for his uniform courtesy and help. In regard to the Historical Introduction which follows, I have endeavoured to give as much original information as possible; most of it is in a very crude and condensed state, but I have purposely avoided putting forward my personal opinions, deeming it better for each reader to form his own. As to the Pedigrees, I must point out that some of them are unreliable, owing to the absence of sufficient proof, but I shall be very glad to receive corrections and additions. The first Volume has taken the Publishers over two years to print, but the remaining one will be probably completed next year.

Download or read book The Cornish in the Caribbean written by Sue Appleby and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to look specifically at the movement of Cornish men and women to and from the Caribbean from the early days of colonialism. A fascinating subject for those with an interest in all things Cornish, be they in Cornwall, in the Caribbean, or in the wider Cornish diaspora. The Cornish in the Caribbean is the first study to tell the stories of some of the many Cornish men and women who went to the Caribbean. Some became wealthy plantation owners, while others came as indentured servants and labourers. Cornish men were active in the armed services, taking part in the numerous sea and land battles fought by the competing European powers throughout the region. Cornish officers and crew sailed on the ships of the Falmouth Packet Service which took the mail to and from the Caribbean. Methodism was strong in Cornwall and Methodist missionaries and their wives came to the Caribbean to evangelise both the enslaved and the newly free. The most striking transfer of Cornish skills to the Caribbean was to be found in mining. As Cornish mining declined, and the Great Emigration of miners and their families got underway, Cornish mining engineers, captains and miners went out to mines throughout the Caribbean. “Meticulously researched and highly readable” Bridget Brereton, Professor Emerita, University of the West Indies.

This book was released on 2020-02-17 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume uses archaeological and documentary evidence to reconstruct daily life at Betty’s Hope plantation on the island of Antigua, one of the largest sugar plantations in the Caribbean. It demonstrates the rich information that the multidisciplinary approach of contemporary historical archaeology can offer when assessing the long-term impacts of sugarcane agriculture on the region and its people. Drawing on ten years of research at the 300-year-old site, the researchers uncover the plantation’s inner workings and its connections to broader historical developments in the Atlantic World. Excavations at the Great House reveal similarities to other British colonial sites, and historical records reveal the owners’ involvement in the Atlantic slave trade and in the trade of rum and other commodities. Artifacts uncovered from the slave quarters—ceramic tokens, repurposed bottle glass, and hundreds of Afro-Antiguan pottery sherds—speak to the agency of enslaved peoples in the face of harsh living conditions. Contributors also use ethnographic field data collected from interviews with contemporary farmers, as well as soil analysis to demonstrate how three centuries of sugarcane monocropping created a complicated legacy of soil depletion. Today tourism has long surpassed sugar as Antigua’s primary economic driver. Looking at visitor exhibits and new technologies for exploring and interpreting the site, the volume discusses best practices in cultural heritage management at Betty’s Hope and other locations that are home to contested historical narratives of a colonial past.
