A scarce and highly appealing 1966 first paperback printing of Eleuthera: The Island Called Freedom by Everild Young, an engaging historical and cultural exploration of Eleuthera in the Bahamas. Published by Regency Press in London, this uncommon regional history blends island history, colonial settlement, piracy, slavery, local traditions, travel writing, and cultural commentary into a vivid portrait of Eleuthera during the mid-20th century. The work includes discussion of the Eleutheran Adventurers, Bahamian culture, settlement history, and the evolution of the island from remote outpost to emerging international destination. Foreword by Sir Roland Symonette, the first Premier of the Bahama Islands. An increasingly difficult-to-find Bahamas and Caribbean history title with strong appeal to collectors of regional history, island studies, Caribbean travel, and Bahamian culture.
Very good condition overall. Clean and unmarked interior with solid binding and attractive cover presentation. Covers retain strong color with moderate edge wear, light rubbing, and mild handling wear consistent with age. Light sticker residue visible on rear cover. Slight waviness from age/storage visible from side profile. Spine remains solid and fully readable. A notably clean and well-preserved example of this scarce 1960s Caribbean regional history paperback.
