Book Description

Excerpt from The English Historical Review, 1904, Vol. 19 It is in vain that we look through the meagre official records that have survived23 for reference to this far inland traffic of the colonists. They deal in the briefest manner only with the most necessary details of administration. The almost unintentional allusions to this traffic, however, in the two curiously interesting Sloane manuscripts 24 not only furnish proof that it existed during a period of at least forty years before 1665, but also, When read in the light thrown upon them by the statement Of Acuna, afford reasonable evidence for supposing that its existence was continuous.
