The Virgin Islands in the course of centuries have witnessed the coming and going of Ciboney, Arawak and Carib peoples, European discovery by Christopher Columbus, temporary occupation by pirates and adventurers, colonization, commercial and plantation development by Danes and other North European settlers, African slavery and its abolition, American purchase, colonial government, social and political change, and in recent years remarkable tourist and industrial developments. These and other topics have been narrated and interpreted by Dr. Isaac Dookhan in this first comprehensive history of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Dr. Dookhan is eminently well qualified for this undertaking. He was born in the British colony of British Guiana, now independent Guyana, where he was educated in the public schools and served as teacher and headmaster. The author has drawn upon primary and secondary sources in recounting the experience of the Virgin Islands and their peoples. He is concerned with successive waves of immigrants, how they affected the physical environment and cultural life of the islands, the impact of international wars and politics, commodity price movements, and technological changes.

The Danish West Indies - the islands of St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix - were a traditional Caribbean colony, characterized by sugar production, trade, and shipping. The colony was under the Danish flag from 1671 until 1917, since which time the islands have been known as the United States Virgin Islands. The archival sources for the history of the three islands are first and foremost in the Danish National Archives. These records are exceptionally comprehensive and their research potential is enormously rich, as the Danes have been meticulous in documenting almost everything that happened in the colony and in preserving the records. The Danish archival sources are therefore unique historical resources today. This book is a thorough guide to the vast Danish West Indian material in Denmark.

Excerpt from The Virgin Islands: A Description of the Commercial Value of the Danish West Indies The group of small islands forty miles east of Porto Rico, for which the United States paid the seemingly ex orbitant price of on March 31, 1917, is des tined to become vastly more important under the govern ment of the United States. The group comprises more than fifty islands, but only three of them are large enough to be considered except on hydrographic charts. These are St. Croix, adapted from the old Spanish name Santa Cruz, St. Thomas which has one of the finest harbors in the world, and the smaller island of St. John. The islands belong to the Virgin group discovered by Columbus in 1 493 and since then the inhabitants have been under Spanish, British, French, Dutch, and Danish rule.
