Columbus, and the early explorers following in his wake, found the Bahamas and the Greater Antilles (cuba, Haiti, Porto Rico, and Jamaica) inhabited for the larger part by a number of peaceable agricultural tribes speaking similar dialects of the Arawak language, now grouped by students under the name of Taino.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of the West Indies Stretching in a vast semicircle, from Florida to the tip of South America, lies the archipelago known as the West Indies. With marvelous climate, their shores washed by the bluest of blue seas, ever swept by the refreshing trade winds, luxuriant beyond words, inexpressibly beautiful, and varying in character from awe-inspiring, rugged masses of mile-high mountains to low-lying sandy cays, the West Indies afford interests and attractions to suit every taste. No two are alike; each possesses an individuality, a charm, a fascination all its own. If you seek quiet and rest, there are spots in these lovely isles where time has stood still for centuries; if fond of history and memories of the brave and bloody deeds of the past, you will find interest a plenty in the Antilles.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book Aborigines of the West Indies Classic Reprint written by FREDERICK AN. OBER and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aborigines of the West Indies A neglected field of scientific research, yet lying adjacent to and between the two great continents of America, is that comprising the vast collection of islands known as the West Indies. Although containing the first islands discovered by Columbus, and including the seas first traversed by Spanish ships, in the New World, it was many years before the actual condition and population of those islands was made known to the civilized world. Even now, less, perhaps, is known respecting them than of many portions of lands considered as unexplored. No longer ago than 1878, I had the pleasure of discovering some twenty species of birds, which had until that time rested in obscurity, unknown and undescribed, and of sending to the Unit d States the first collection of aboriginal implements used by the Caribs of the Lesser Antilles. The West Indies are divided, as is well known, into the Greater and Lesser Antilles, the former comprising the islands of Cuba, Jamaica, Santo Domingo or Haiti, and Puerto Rico, to which we may add the Bahamas; the latter, that crescent-shaped archipelago called the Caribbean Chain, connecting the larger islands with the continent of South America. These, again, are locally divided into Windward and Leeward, with reference to their situation respecting the prevailing trade-winds. All these islands were inhabited, at the time of their discovery, by people called, by Columbus, "Indians," who were possessed of characteristics which distinguished them from any others at that time known to Europeans.
