Publisher's Synopsis
""The History of Darien"" is a book written by Francis Borland and published in 1779. It is a historical account of the Scottish colony of Darien, which was established in present-day Panama in the late 17th century. The book details the events leading up to the establishment of the colony, the challenges faced by the settlers, and the ultimate failure of the venture. Borland also provides insight into the political and economic factors that contributed to the failure of the colony, including the opposition of the Spanish Empire and the lack of support from the British government. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Scottish exploration and colonization, as well as the broader history of European expansion in the Americas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
