West India Pickles is a travel diary written by William P. Talboys, chronicling his cruise through the West Indies in the yacht Josephine, which was part of the New York Yacht Club. The book was originally published in 1876 and provides a detailed account of Talboys' experiences during his journey, including descriptions of the various islands he visited, the people he met, and the food he ate. The title of the book is derived from the author's love for the pickles he encountered during his travels. The book is a fascinating glimpse into the world of yachting and travel in the late 19th century, and is sure to be of interest to anyone interested in the history of the West Indies, sailing, or travel writing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
