| Title:
The
Story Of The Bahamas by Paul Albury |
|
Description:
This
book is a very readable story which should be of interest
to both the visitor and native of the Bahamas. It traces
the history of The Bahamas from the early Lucayan times
up to the time when The Bahamas Islands achieved its full
nationhood. There is an outline of the geographical factors
which have been so influential in Bahamian affairs. The
main theme of the book is the struggle of the Bahamian
people for survival against the odds. Particularly exciting
and vivid are the author’s accounts of piracy and
wrecking.
