The delivery of them to their various homes could not be carried out, as they came from so many different places, but they were conveyed in ships either to Lagos or to Sierra Leone, where R. P. Pooley, Esq., our present U.S. Consul, says he met many who had formerly been on the island. The troubles of the...
Tracts Relative to the Island of St. Helena
Excerpt from Tracts Relative to the Island of St. Helena: Written During a Residence of Five Years It had long been very generally supposed that St. Helena was a rocky and unproductive island; mostly devoid of soil; scantily supplied with water; subject to severe and unusual droughts; abounding with rats, and wholly incapable of extensive cultivation or improvement. Whether these notions have originated with early writers, or in hearsay information of passing visitors, or in wilful misrepresentation to answer particular ends, it is unnecessary in this place to enquire. It will be sufficient to observe, that they were very prevalent, both in England and at St. Helena, at the period of my appo...

St. Helena
Excerpt from St. Helena: The Historic Island, From Its Discovery to the Present Date These early navigators, always on the outlook to find islands which they could use as watering places for their vessels, and which would generally supply them with vegetables, meat, and fruit, were eager to stock and colonize them. On the occasion of the discovery of St. Helena, we find they were prepared, for they left at the island some goats, asses, and pigs; but at this visit there is no mention of colonization. Eleven years after, a Portuguese fleet called on its way home from India, and left here the first human inhabitant. He was Fernandez Lopez, a noble man who, having incurred disgrace through dese...

A St. Helena Who's Who
Excerpt from A St. Helena Who's Who: Or a Directory of the Island During the Captivity of Napoleon I have ventured to print this little book, which contains information concerning those who lived in St. Helena during the captivity of Napoleon, with the hope that it may be found useful to those students who share with me the delight afforded by the study of that period. The book consists of notes in expanded form, collected from various sources in leisure hours extending over many years. Although great care has been taken to be accurate, no claim is made to infallibility, and doubtless the experienced reader will note, here and there, the inevitable errors and omissions, the correction of whi...
