Howard visited many islands and locales in the Caribbean, such as the Virgin Islands, Guadeloupe, Dominica, Haiti, Antigua, Barbuda, Martinique, and the Bahamas. The Lesser Antilles appear to be a highlight of the trip in part because he wanted to visit islands that were less-traveled by Americans. Howard describes his personal experiences on the islands as well as local culture, history, and lore.. Book. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Soft cover
