The Story of Bermuda and Her People Third Edition

Bermuda's story begins 400 years ago when the thankful survivors of the Sea Venture, staggered ashore to form the basis of the first settlement. This book chronicles the lives of the Bermudian people through the excitement of ships and salt, from privateers and blockade-running in the earlier days to the more sedate present-day occupations of one of the world's most attractive tourist and business centres. Of major importance has been the island's unique geographical position which has more than once made Bermuda a place of great strategic value in the broad sweep of world history.
