Sue Appleby Reihenfolge der Bücher

Appleby examines the lives of the Cornish women who went to the Caribbean colonies, filling a gap in the literature of the Cornish diaspora which previously focused on the male-dominated mining industry in the USA, Australia, and South Africa.

The first book to look specifically at the movement of Cornish men and women to and from the Caribbean from the early days of colonialism. A meticulously researched and very readable book. A fascinating subject for those with an interest in all things Cornish, be they in Cornwall, in the Caribbean, or in the wider Cornish diaspora.

The Hammers of Towan: A Nineteenth-Century Cornish Family, centres around the life of Appleby's great-grandfather Philip Henry Hammer, his three wives, and his children by his first wife, Jane Opie. The book tells the story of a now vanished world - the life and times of a 19th century Cornish farmer, the tenant of Towan Farm, near St. Austell.
