| 520 | _a"A True & Exact History of the Island of Barbados" by Richard Ligon is a historical account written in the mid-17th century. This work chronicles Ligon's experiences and observations during his travels to Barbados, offering insight into the island's geography, flora, and the sugar production process, alongside socio-political contexts. The narrative serves as both a personal account and a broader commentary on colonial endeavors, particularly in the Caribbean. The opening of the book presents Ligon's motivations for undertaking this journey, highlighting the circumstances that compelled him to leave England. He begins with his reflections while imprisoned, acknowledging a debt of gratitude towards a friend who encouraged him to document his observations of Barbados. Ligon describes the beauty of the island and its rich resources, introducing readers to both the natural landscape and the people he encounters. He paints a vivid picture of his voyage, touching on maritime details and the diverse marine life that captures his attention. Throughout this beginning, the tone blends curiosity with an earnest desire to inform and enlighten his readers about the island's potential for prosperity through sugar cultivation and trade.
