Description:
New York: Dodd,Mead & Company, 1929. Off the beaten track in the Lesser Antilles, Santo Domingo and Haiti: written by Harry L. Foster, known for his many books of travel and adventure. It was the author's intention , when he sailed for the East Indies, to write merely a handbook... which he did for the winter tourist. But on the way, he stopped wherever an island pleased his fancy, to live among the natives in many a picturesque atoll beyond the tourist trail. 'Combing the Caribbee's' is the story of the author's observations and wanderings in the less-visited regions of the Caribbean. He tells of life in Guadeloupe, where there are only nine commandments, of voyages in sailing ships and cargo boats to Martinique, the Windward Isles, and the Venezuelan coast, and particularly of tramps on foot through the mountains of black Haiti, where the voodoo drums still echo.... Nineteen chapters and a most generous list of illustrations provided. Frontispiece and all photo illustrations…

Description:
Boston: Houghton,Mifflin Company 1942 (1942) An extraordinary narrative about Mexico that cuts through the surface and shows you the living people. Gertrude Diamant went to Mexico with guide-book in hand, to see the cathedrals and the fiestas. A chance meeting had aroused her interest in giving intelligence tests to Indians. She decided to stay awhile, went apartment hunting, and met the Escoto family, who turned out to be an aspect of Mexican life more interesting than anything yet. The author sat down to write the story of Ofelia Escoto and her family that others might meet the Mexicans as intimately and informally as she had. H.B. Parks, author of the definitive "History of Mexico", in part, wrote this about "The Days of Ofelia"...."It is amazingly well written, it has humor, it has charm and it conveys the flavor of Mexican life with extraordinary accuracy..." Endpapers make up an impressive two-page Mexican scene in color. This is a well-illustrated book with…

London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1972. This book is Alexander Cordell's eighth novel. 'The Fire People' was inspired by, and climaxes in, the inglorious Merthyr Tydil riots of 1831 and the hanging of Dic Penderyn, the first legendary martyr of the Welsh working class. The book is born in the mines and flarring ironworks of a Wales bitter with industrial strife and poverty, but its heart is in the people it portrays, Irish immigrants, European refugees, Welsh ironworkers, etc. all blending to build what is surely one of the most vivid pictures of a generation's courage and survival in the face of oppression ever written. Alexander Cordell's qualities as an historical novelist have never been better expressed. Price-intact full-wrap-around illustrated dust jacket. An immaculate copy. The condition of this book promises to please.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Near Fine.

Description:
Toronto: James Lewis & Samuel, 1973. For more than a year, Heather Robertson travelled through Western Canada, visiting half a dozen small towns to meet people and ask questions. This book is the result.....the story of wheat farmers like Gordon Taylor who has 800 acres near Landis, Saskatchewan, and an account of life in towns like Bigger, Moose Jaw, Winkler and Miami. "For all westerners, even city people," writes Hearher Robertson, " the farmer is the touchstone, our fertility symbol, the core of our mythology. He is the grass roots, the salt of the earth, the moral fibre of the nation.....his gradual disappearance shakes our sense of identity of our history." Grass Roots deals with a subject which is central to our understanding of what this country is. Notes on sources, bibliography and a list of photogrphs can be found at the rear of the book. An extremely generous section of photographs ( all on heavier semi-gloss stock) provided. Clean beige-green boards. Fep and…
