Excerpt from The History, Civil and Commercial, of the British West Indies, Vol. 4 of 5: With a Continuation to the Present TimeAt the close of 1794, a petty yet harassing war was still carried on, by insurgent slaves and de mocratical whites, in St. Lucia, which was greatly favoured by the uncultivated, impracticable and mountainous nature of the interior. Ground so formed is admirably adapted to enable an adwar sary to carry on a contest of military chicane and prou'action, which, while it cwfers no glory on those who are exposed to it, is even more fraught than regular warfare with fatigue and with peril. This spark required nothing more than a slight breath to fan it into a destructive ¿ame, and that breath was speedily and e¿'ectually supplied.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
