Where the Cays Are September 11, 2004
Matherson (New York)
Craton's "History of the Bahamas" is a nice, compact little history of an important country in its own right, as well as being one of America's closest neighbors. He begins with the world of the planters and settlers - a nice, small-knit world of plutocrats - and tells of the Bahamas' evolution into what it is today - a small but relatively prosperous tourist and service-driven nation. There are nice little stories about the local pirates, some weird and arcane stories about the various political factions that have existed through the years, and, of course, due mention of the Duke of Windsor's stint as Governor (during which a still-fascinating murder case arose).
