Book Description

Excerpt from Bug-Jargal Many of the distinguished persons who, either as colonists or as officials, were entangled in the trouble of Santo Domingo having learned of the approaching publication of this episode, have been pleased to communicate spontaneously to the author materials all the more precious in so much that they are almost entirely unpublished. The author wishes to express to them here his lively gratitude. These documents have been peculiarly use ful to him in correcting what the story of Captain d'auverney lacked with respect to local color, and where uncertain relative to historic truth.
