Some tanning and wear to spine and covers, otherwise pages clean and binding sound. Book chronicles the visit of Washington to Barbados, the only trip he made outside of the U.S. when he accompanied his brother who had been advised to seek warmer climes to combat tuberculosis. The book also gives the history and economy of Barbados at that time and briefly looks at life in Colonial Virginia also during this period. A reproduction of the 1756 Mayo map is included, attached to the inside back cover.

Store description
After selling new and second hand books in a brick and mortar establishment for 34 years I have now gone exclusively online. My specialty areas are the Caribbean and books by and about people of the African Diaspora. I also stock antique prints and rare and hard to find books in other subject areas. My aim is always to please the customer, connecting them to elusive, hard-to-find titles is always a source of great satisfaction. In short, I love doing what I do.
