Bag om A Guide To Hayti (1861)

A Guide to Hayti, written by James Redpath and published in 1861, is a comprehensive guidebook to the Caribbean island nation of Haiti. The book provides a detailed overview of the country's history, geography, culture, and economy, as well as practical information for travelers, including advice on accommodations, transportation, and sightseeing.

He also provided insights into the lives of the Haitian people, their customs and traditions, and their struggles in the aftermath of slavery and colonialism. The book includes numerous illustrations and maps, as well as a glossary of Creole words and phrases. A Guide to Hayti is an important historical document that sheds light on a little-known chapter in Caribbean history and offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing Haiti in the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
