Antigua and the Antiguans in two volumes presents a full account of the colony and its inhabitants from the time of the Caribs to modern days. The history of the Antigua island can be traced from Columbus' discovery, but the first written sources date from the early 17th century when the first settlers claimed their possessions, and were disturbed by Caribs from nearby islands. The account begins with the forming of the colony and follows the development of the island to modern days. The story of Antigua and the Antiguans is interspersed with anecdotes and legends recorded from the earliest days. The book also provides an impartial view of slavery and the free labor systems.
