Scrapbook, Feb. 1906

Kept by Edwin S. Gillette re his trip to Jamaica. He traveled on the United Steamship Company's steamship "Admiral Schley" with William Hazlitt Smith and A.J. Brown of Ithaca, and also many others from around the U.S. The scrapbook consists mainly of photographs, postcards, and magazine clippings. Of particular interest are magazine photographs of George Rodney (Lord Rodney) commander-in-chief at Jamaica from 1771-74; basket, sugar, rum and banana laborers; the hurricane disaster of 1903 and the earthquake of 1907, and various other island scenes.
