Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from World's Fair, Jamaica at Chicago: An Account Descriptive of the Colony of Jamaica, With Historical and Other Appendices
The City of Kingston has had an exciting and eventful history. Many of the survivors of the 1692 earthquake at Port Royal settled on the sea-board -of the Liguanea plain, and Kingston is the gradual out-growth of that settlement. Its progress, though slow at first, was accelerated in 1703 by a fire which completely destroyed the revived Port Royal and which drove many of the unfortunate inhabitants of the latter town to try their fortunes in Kingston.
