Robert L. Pettigrew (1893-1987), who managed the plantation, wrote this book detailing the development and revival of the plantation from decay.The Dauphin Plantation was a major sisal-producing unit in the Western Hemisphere, known for its advanced factory machinery. The plantation's history is intertwined with the socio-political dynamics of Haiti, including labor issues during the 1960s. Fort Liberté, formerly known as Fort Dauphin, is a town in Haiti, which adds geographical context to the plantation's location.The author Robert Leslie Pettigrew died in Tappahannock, Essex County, Virginia, USA; that is where I purchased this book.The covers have some wear / smudges. Map after page 16 has some creases from misfolding. The book is in good used condition. Some light foxing on edges of pages as seen with the book closed.
