About This Book
Virgin Islands historian Professor Arnold R. Highfield's book offers insights into why a group of small islands in the Caribbean-visited in 1493 and named the Virgin Islands by Christopher Columbus under the auspices of Spain, then claimed by several different countries over the past five centuries-has evolved into the present day Virgin Islands of the United States. It is an enchanted history that involves many diverse people and varying circumstances.
