In the early 1950s Haiti was experiencing a "golden age" of tourism roughly 1946-1956 marked by economic growth the 1949-1950 Bicentennial International Exposition and increased airline travel. Tourism was heavily promoted particularly to US citizens for its unique culture art and history. Tourism during this era often focused on the capital Port-au-Prince and the artistic and cultural scene showcasing a "modern" face to the world to counter negative international perceptions. Those negative perceptions returned in the late 1950s with the brutal dictatorship of the Duvalier family and change in the country's image from a luxury destination to an unsafe one. This extensive guide offers a look at a brief period when Haiti and its image for tourism were flourishing. Haiti Tourist Information Bureau Paperback

Public appetite for a detailed narrative encouraged a publishing race of which this work published less than three months after the expedition's return to England and almost two years prior to Hawkesworth's authorised version was the winner. This first issue containing the dedication leaf was swiftly withdrawn following the publicly advertised consternation of the dedicatees the Admiralty Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander. Published anonymously the work is generally attributed to James Magra an American mid-shipman aboard. Hill II:1066without dedication leaf; Hocken p9; Holmes 3; O'Rielly-Reitman 362; Sabin 4246 & 16242; DuRietz-catalogue of the Kroepelien Collection p215; Frost Life of James Mario Matra: Voyager with Cook 1995; Beddie 693/4; STC T29207. The work is a short but interesting narrative of Cook's first voyage which relates his visits to Tahiti New Zealand Australia New Guinea Batavia and Rio de Janeiro. The author is noteworthy because he is one of the few to criticize Cook in any meaningful way. Despite problems with the accuracy of the text this work will always hold the place of being the first account of that voyage and the first account in print of the Australian coast. in translation it also gave the French their first account of that voyage. <br/> <br/> T.
