Thomas Coke: 1 book
A History of the West Indies
Containing the Natural, Civil and Ecclesiastical History of Each Island
Language: English
Release Date: March 18, 2014
Disappointed with the purely secular tone of the earlier West Indian histories, Thomas Coke concentrated on the history of the missions in the Caribbean. This work was written immediately after the abolition of slavery, but 25 years before emancipation, and based on a wealth of documentation.
