West Indies and the Spanish Main (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

This 1859 travelogue is based on Trollope's 1858 journey to Jamaica and the Caribbean on government business. Along the way, he recorded his impressions of the places and people he encountered. While its racial attitudes are very much of its time, they are, at least, of historical interest, and his character sketches are, as one would expect, both amusing and insightful.
