Book excerpt: Turks Islands Landfall by H.E. Sadler is a well researched and authoritative account of the Islands' history from 1492 to the present time. It presents compelling evidence that it was Turks Islands where the Lucayan Indians first greeted Christopher Columbus; it brings together extensive material on the country's development of the salt trade, the Bermudian and Bahamian influences, as well as the American Loyalist settlements in the Islands. The book reveals the seafaring, shipwrecking and privateering history, and its entry into modern times. For students of Turks and Caicos and Caribbean history, it is an indispensable tool for study and research.
