Respected in its fifth edition as an authoritative historical work, HOMEWARD BOUND covers the history of the Bahamas from its ancient Lucayan Taino past, through its era as the ultimate pirate republic, to the Revolutionary War and subsequent exile of American Loyalists to the Bahamas. Riley's focus on Abaco provides an indispensible genealogical resource for those seeking more information on Loyalists exiled from American colonies; offers leads on Bahamian surnames, lineages and Royal Census data. It clarifies the archipelago's critical role in the Conquest of the New World, British Empire, American Revolution, and international economics. ISBN 0966-5310-27
