rif. 5300CARIBBEAN TRAVEL JOURNAL. Diary. 101 pages. The Caribbean. c. 1908-9. The handwritten journal belonging to C. B. Benson of Hudson New York. The diary recounts Benson’s experience on an organized cruise group visit to Caribbean locations such as St. Thomas Puerto Rico Kingston Jamaica Caracas Venezuela Panama City Panama Port of Spain Trinidad and Martinique. Benson records his experiences in each location including his impressions of the town the locals sights he visited and local travel. He visited forts a school churches a mill a sugar plantation and Carnival celebrations. Benson took his tour during the era of colonial rule the attitudes of which infuse both his experiences and observations. Based on his mention of an earthquake in Kingston Jamaica taking place a year or two before he travelled in 1908 or 1909. “…St. Thomas where we arrived about 6 A.M. mid morning Jan 26 is one of the Virgin group and we found her framed and frescoed in the principal churches. Columbus in 1493 gave the group of 100 islands rocks and…which comprise the group. St. Thomas is 13 miles in length and 3 miles in width at its broadest. And I guess we walked the length of it speaking broadly and in the abstract at this distance.The heat of the tropical sun also takes its toll and blurs our ideas of time and distance somewhat. The town of Charlotte Amelia contains 13000 inhabitants – merchants and black babies and they are all dressed in their Sunday best to receive us properly.Thursday morning at 8 we went ashore at Porto sic Rico.Returning thro the village streets we stopped at the market place and noticed the display of fruits in baskets a couple of men seated on low stools with blacks in front of them.a native woman…was entertaining us in the middle of the road with a dance.When passing the island of Haiti.‘Do you know why we do not stop at the Island of Haiti’ ‘No’ There are cannibals there there are so many fat people aboard you would lose your wife’ At St Thomas the American council held open house and received some of us who dared to invade this solitude.An hour’s railroad ride which was made interesting by stops at every little…and station where the bare legged boy with the oil gun in hand squirted oil…bearings sic of the cars and engine. As it was before the 17 miles came to an end the rear axle of the parlor car so called because it had leather covered reclining seats caught fire. But when this happened we were nearly at the end of our journey and we were not delayed much. At the sugar plantation where we detrained we found we had some distance to walk down…to the sugar mill. As there was no path and the sticky wet ground to soil made worse by the heavy rain of the night before.A sugar mill is never a clean place.The process is somewhat intricate but way he likened to the process of brewing.The cane piled up in the yard is boiled in a number of vats then is run off with barrels and in a black and solid state in shipped to the Refineries at New York. The fiber of the cane is then hardened and dried and is fed to the furnaces to boil…cane. After return to the town San Juan we visited the shops. Walked out to the fort at the entrance of the harbor. The town is excellently policed and paved in the principal streets with telegram blocks.As this day was Thursday we concluded that every day was wash day for the native women and girls who for want of other diversions spend most of their time in this form of dissipation. Even the balconies of the main public street filled with traffic of street cars carriages and drays had their fill of wash some of which are found laying in the street having been carried down by the wind. No one had appropriated it as yet; and we did not add it to our collection of souvenirs. At the officers quarters I applied for a permit of the officer of the day to enter the fort ‘San Cristobal’ the fort commanding the entrance to the harbor.The fort was like most forts. The high tower gave a commanding view of the town and harbor. Then we visited the Governor’s Palace. In the Reception Room hanging on opposite sides facing each other are life sized oil paintings of McKinley & Cleveland. In the garden were some large palms tropical ferns a fountain &.Jan 29. early in the morning we were at Kingston in Jamaica. The channel is narrow and tortuous but well… Taking a local pilot we soon…opposite it…of three vessels one of which was the Princess Louise that was caught in the hurricane here three years ago and…the larger of the three vessels was trying to pick up the light from the light house which had been blown down. This destruction of the hurricane.After driving about a mile thru the city the destruction to the buildings & pavements made by the earthquake here a year or two ago half of the city seems to be in ruins and no attempt has been made apparently to rebuild & restore the city. Thousands of lives were lost here at that time which did immense damage to the fruits. Most of the uninhabitable part of the island belongs to the United Fruit Company a Boston Corporation who ships immense quantities of bananas from Port Antonio. Owing to recent destruction by fire of Hotel Litchfield our stop at the port of San Antonio and stay of night at the Hotel was omitted. An excursion across the island by train to Mandeville was arranged in its place.The town of Colon in its principle streets are paved with brick and appear clean. We noticed many buzzards. The air was clear and there was a delightful cool breeze blowing.We stopped at all of the stations going to Panama and noted the wonderful impressions made by the Sanitary Commission. The well ventilated and screened houses. The plan for disposal of garbage the open drainage the cleared lands…But of course the facts are here – bug and drain – all working to the mutual exclusion of some ideas to the American white employers. Therefore after a few months they must have a reaction in the States to…and detach themselves from all absorbing facts. The fighting for life against…fires. Most things are…between the white employers and the black employees. So we find the ‘White Bar’ and the ‘Black Bar’ ‘The White Employees’ ‘The Silver White Employees’ &c as signs on the cars intended to carry workmen back and forth from the works.Caracas the capital of Venezuela is about 3000 ft up but the sun in the middle of the day we found very hot.Plaza Bolivar was decorated with rows of colored electric lights. They are preparing for the Carnival season which ushers in Lent in Catholic countries. The market place had counters for dry goods highly colored handkerchiefs etc. Another section was devoted to fruits vegetables etc. We noticed some very large apricots. Mr. Bolivar apparently has done a great deal for his native town. He has given his name – while the people furnished the funds – for the largest parks a street and the coinage of the plutocrats.The Spaniard the…Hildago -in his easy subjugation of the…pleasure loving tropical savage has replaced the native of simple taste and left in his place the mongrel half-breed with all the vices of the conqueror and none of the virtues of the…Indian savage…”. The diary is in very good condition. It is mostly written in pencil but is quite legible. hardcover books

Saint Lucia was discovered by Columbus in 1502. The first group of colonists from England were massacred by the Caribs but the French succeeded in colonizing the island in 1642. It passed between France and Great Britain a number of times and became a British possession in 1803. It became independent and joined the Commonwealth in 1979. As one would suspect traces of French law remain in the island's legal system. OCLC locates 9 copies in North America.

1893rif. WRCAM55675Various places as described below 1893. 28pp. manuscript index followed by 499 onionskin leaves comprising 402 letters. Five leaves laid in between leaves 195-196. Quarto. Three-quarter leather and cloth boards. Backstrip missing but boards still holding firm; rubbing and wear to extremities. Some rumpling and curling to pages ink bleed heavy at times a few small tears in leaves several small tears or holes due to ink burn occasional mild spotting and foxing. Good. A comprehensive look at the operations of a major import/export company in the Caribbean for the first part of 1893. J. Sala & Co. was a large international firm headquartered in New York that did business of all kinds throughout the Caribbean in particular Puerto Rico the Dominican Republic and Haiti but also Cuba Jamaica St. Thomas St. Croix and Curaçao. In DELMAR'S.TRADES DIRECTORY 1889-90 they are listed in San Juan Puerto Rico as "Ship Brokers and Commission Merchants." In THE PORT OF NEW YORK. 1893-94 their entry describes them as "General Commission Merchants" and Juan Sala and Cosme Batlle are listed as agents. They also provided banking and finance services in particular in partnership with Batlle a Spanish merchant and banker one of the wealthiest men in the Dominican Republic and a chief creditor to dictator Ulises Heureaux. As this book only covers January through part of March 1893 one gets a sense of the extent of the firm's activities. The copy book begins with an alphabetical directory of recipients listed along with their location and the numbers of relevant letters in the copy book. 171 recipients are listed representing over forty cities in the Caribbean along with several in England France Germany and Spain. Letters are primarily in Spanish but also appear in French for letters to Haiti and France and English for letters to England Germany Jamaica and some clients in St. Thomas and St. Croix. Several leaves have a mimeographed memorandum form with the company name and address. Almost every letter is annotated in blue pencil with the numbers of related letters in the copy book providing a further index; some letters have additional annotations in black pencil. All letters are signed "J. Sala & Co." and deal with a wide variety of business issues including notices about payments received and credits processed along with inquiries about late payments; credit references; consignments of turtle shells; and shipments of lumber iron pipes and whisky among other things although most often the material in question is listed as "sundries." In letters to Enrique Nebot of Monte Cristi Dominican Republic a Sala agent discusses the schooner "Annie R. Kemp" which they have chartered on his behalf and introduces the letter's bearer - the ship's captain - who is not named. The letter is in English which is presumably for the Captain's benefit since other letters to Nebot are in Spanish. The letter goes on to note that Nebot's "sundries.do not appear on the vessel's manifest and we have assured him the captain in your name that he will have no trouble whatsoever with your Custom House on that or other account." The Dominican Republic had a notoriously corrupt customs system at this time and no doubt J. Sala & Co. made sure they took advantage of every available loophole. A densely-informative and very interesting record of an active business engaged in a variety of endeavors in the Caribbean.

1860rif. WRCAM48522Antigua but actually Philadelphia: R.B. Eldridge & Co. 1860. Lithographic sheet map 20 1/2 x 26 1/2 inches. Backed with contemporary blue paper. Light foxing and toning. A few small tears in margins. Very good. An unusual lithographic edition of Norie's 1827 revision of this handsome chart lithographed by Wagner & McGuigan in Philadelphia. A statement in the cartouche reads: "Presented by R.B. Eldridge Antigua to Captain Andrew Tyler." The captain's name is accomplished in manuscript. R.B. Eldridge is not listed in Tooley's DICTIONARY OF MAPMAKERS and appears to be unrelated to publisher of charts George Eldridge. It seems most likely that he was rather an Antigua merchant who commissioned a reprint of the chart for complimentary distribution to sea captains. A handsome piece. R.B. Eldridge & Co. unknown books
