Over the past twenty-five years I have written a number of articles and papers on Jamaican history,
which I think are of some value to anyone interested in that field. The articles are in various periodicals and books which
may not be easily available to the general public; the papers have never appeared in any publication.
It seems to me that
a website is probably the best way to bring this material together in a location which is available to anyone who can access
the Web. I hope that in this format the pieces I have written may introduce some ideas and lines of thought which are different
and thought-provoking.
Most of my research and writing has been on the period of Jamaican history from 1865 (Morant Bay
'Rebellion') to the end of World War I. Relatively little has been written on this period in Jamaica, so any additions to
the small amount of material available should be of value. My interests in the period are chiefly political, social and biographical
and my articles reflect those interests.
I also have an interest in the Maroons of Jamaica, especially the Leeward Maroons;
this interest is at least in part the result of family links with the Maroons of Charles Town.
