The History Of Darien (1779)

The History of Darien is a book written by Francis Borland in 1779. It is a historical account of the Scottish colony of Darien, which was established in present-day Panama in the late 17th century. The book covers the origins of the colony, its struggles with disease, famine, and hostile indigenous tribes, and ultimately its failure due to a lack of support from the Scottish government and the English Crown. Borland's work provides a valuable insight into the early attempts by European powers to establish colonies in the Americas and the challenges they faced. The book is written in a straightforward and informative style, making it accessible to readers with an interest in history and colonialism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
