The History Of The Bermudas Or Summer Islands

The History of the Bermudas or Summer Islands is a comprehensive account of the history of the Bermudas, written by John Henry Lefroy. The book covers the period from the discovery of the islands by Juan de Bermudez in 1503 to the 19th century, when it was written. Lefroy provides a detailed description of the islands' geography, climate, flora, and fauna, as well as the customs and traditions of the native people, who were largely wiped out by European diseases and slavery. He also covers the arrival of the first English settlers in 1609, their struggles to survive on the island, and their eventual prosperity through the cultivation of tobacco and other crops. The book also delves into the political and economic history of the islands, including their role in the American Revolution and the War of 1812. Lefroy provides a thorough analysis of the Bermudas' relationship with the British Empire, including their status as a British colony and the impact of British policies on the islands' economy and society.
