Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a memoir of Navassa Island, a remote coral island in the Caribbean Sea. Once the site of substantial phosphate mining operations, the author visited the island in the mid-19th century to assess both the viability of the mining operation and the scientific significance of the island's geology. The author, an experienced geologist, posits that Navassa was formed through a series of volcanic eruptions and subsequent erosion, and he describes the various geological formations found on the island. These detailed observations add to our knowledge of the geological processes that shaped the Caribbean region. Of particular note is the author's close examination of the island's extensive phosphate deposits, which ultimately proved to be an invaluable resource. His insights into the geological origins of these deposits, combined with suggestions for improving the mining operation, make this book an essential historical document for understanding the development of the phosphate industry in the Caribbean. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Memoir On The Island Of Navassa, West Indies (1866) is a historical account written by Eugene Gaussoin about his experiences on the island of Navassa in the late 19th century. Navassa is a small island located in the Caribbean Sea, which was once a thriving center for the production of guano, a valuable fertilizer. Gaussoin was sent to Navassa as a representative of a company that owned the rights to mine guano on the island. In his memoir, he describes the harsh living conditions on Navassa, including the extreme heat, lack of fresh water, and the dangerous work of mining guano. He also provides a detailed account of the island's history, including its discovery by Christopher Columbus in 1494 and its subsequent colonization by the French and Spanish.The memoir also touches on the issue of slavery, which was still prevalent on the island during Gaussoin's time there. He describes the brutal treatment of the enslaved workers who were forced to work in the guano mines, and the efforts of abolitionists to bring an end to the practice.Overall, Memoir On The Island Of Navassa, West Indies (1866) is a fascinating and informative account of a little-known island and its history. It provides valuable insights into the harsh realities of life on Navassa, as well as the broader historical context of the Caribbean in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
