Through Jamaica With A Kodak is a travelogue written by Alfred Leader and published in 1907. The book documents Leader's journey through Jamaica, a Caribbean island known for its vibrant culture, stunning natural landscapes, and tumultuous history. As the title suggests, Leader's primary tool for capturing his experiences was his Kodak camera, which he used to take numerous photographs of the people, places, and events he encountered on his journey.The book is divided into chapters that correspond to different regions of Jamaica, including Kingston, Montego Bay, and the Blue Mountains. In each chapter, Leader provides a detailed description of the area's geography, history, and culture, as well as his own observations and impressions. He also includes anecdotes about the people he meets and the adventures he has along the way.Throughout the book, Leader's love for Jamaica and its people shines through. He writes with admiration and respect for the island's natural beauty and rich cultural heritage, and he expresses a deep appreciation for the warmth and hospitality of the Jamaican people. At the same time, however, he does not shy away from documenting the challenges and injustices faced by many Jamaicans, particularly those of African descent.Overall, Through Jamaica With A Kodak is a fascinating and informative account of a bygone era in Jamaica's history. It offers a unique perspective on the island's culture and society at the turn of the 20th century, and it remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in Jamaican history, culture, or travel.With Introductory Notes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
