A Narrative of the Insurrection in the Island of Grenada

A Narrative of the Insurrection in the Island of Grenada: Which Took Place in 1795 is a historical account written by John Hay and published in 1823. The book details the events of the 1795 insurrection in Grenada, a British colony in the Caribbean, which was led by enslaved Africans and Afro-Caribbean people against their white slave owners and the British colonial government. Hay, who was an eyewitness to the insurrection, provides a detailed and vivid account of the rebellion, including the causes, the key players, the battles, and the aftermath. He also offers insights into the social, economic, and political conditions of Grenada at the time, as well as the broader context of slavery and colonialism in the Caribbean. The book is an important primary source for historians and scholars interested in the history of slavery, colonialism, and resistance in the Caribbean, as well as for general readers interested in the history of the region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
