About this Item
Description:
[2],125pp. 12mo. Original stiff printed wrappers. Wrappers dust soiled, outside corners of front wrapper chipped, wear to spine strip. Quite clean internally. Very good. At the end of the Civil War, the author left his home in Warren County, Mississippi, and traveled to British Honduras in hopes that it would serve as a refuge for him and fellow Southerners ruined by the war and unable to accept the the idea of a Yankee government. In his "Prefatory Remarks," Swett writes: "If despite our exertions to the contrary, our country should be brought to the humiliating fact of equality of races existing amongst us - when an inferior holds public position, and even serve in the capacity of representatives of the people, or when we are satisfied this will be the result of what is now transpiring, it will be well to surrender this land to our persecutors." After a trying tour of Honduras and nearby countries, it turned out Central America seemed little better, and like many self-exiled southerners, Swett returned after two years. He provides information on the flora and fauna of both British and Spanish Honduras, along with information on customs and reprints of government regulations in Spanish and English. THOMPSON 3203.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique and intimate glimpse into the post-Civil War South through the lens of a personal journey. The author, a former Confederate, embarks on a voyage to British Honduras in search of a new life and a better future for himself and his fellow Southerners. This expedition, meticulously documented in the form of a diary, becomes a powerful exploration of the Southââ â¢s political, economic, and social realities in the wake of the war. The author's journey is not only a physical one, but also a deeply introspective one. As he travels, he grapples with the challenges of rebuilding a shattered society, the political upheaval that surrounds him, and the search for individual and collective hope. He contrasts the familiar hardships of the South with the potential opportunities of a new land, offering a nuanced perspective on both. The book is a poignant testament to the complexities of the Reconstruction era, highlighting the desperation of a defeated people and their struggles to adapt to a rapidly changing world. The authorââ â¢s candid observations and poignant reflections offer a powerful reminder of the human cost of war and the enduring search for a better tomorrow.
