SummaryResumen

A dispatch from Santo Domingo dated January 23, 1871, describes sailing into Samana Bay and anchoring about two miles from Santa Barbara, the only town on the peninsula. It describes the town's roughly one hundred small bamboo and palm houses, its roughly three hundred inhabitants, many of them descendants of a colony of Black Americans sent there more than forty-five years earlier, and its small trade in tobacco, hides and woods.
