St. Croix (USVI). This 1964 book provides a little history (with timeline) and short essays, with visual ephemera, on plantations, sugar mills, rum production, and other historical aspects of colonial and post-colonial life on the island. I mention the publication date because, though the author does a better job of describing slavery in relation to the islands than some in 1964, there are other aspects of her description that are not, shall we say, consonant with a 21st century perspective.
