In The Tropics: By A Settler In Santo Domingo is a non-fiction book written by Joseph Warren Fabens. The book provides a detailed account of Fabens' experiences as a settler in Santo Domingo, a Caribbean island nation. The author describes the tropical climate, the local people, their customs and traditions, and the natural beauty of the island. The book also covers the history of Santo Domingo, including the Spanish colonization, the arrival of African slaves, and the struggle for independence. Fabens shares his observations on the social and economic conditions of the island, including the sugar industry, the exploitation of labor, and the impact of colonialism. He also describes his personal experiences, including his interactions with the locals, his struggles with illness, and his efforts to improve his plantation. The book is a fascinating glimpse into life in the tropics during the late 19th century, and provides valuable insights into the history and culture of Santo Domingo.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
