The History Of The Island Of Antigua PDF Download

Excerpt from The History of the Island of Antigua, One of the Leeward Caribbees in the West Indies, Vol. 1: From the First Settlement in 1635 to the Present Time 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.
