Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Maryland Colonization Journal, Vol. 1: November 15, 1841
We have oysters and fish in abundance, and we must make some ar rangements to procure a seine of fifty fathom length, and from six to eight feet depth. This will supply: our Colony with mackerel and other fine fish.
In the bush or woods, there is plenty of cattle, hogs, sheep, goats, ante lopes, and a species of the deer, all 'very fine. We' have fowls, guineas. Ducks, &c., and many other good things that Americans know nothing about.
When you commence your operations to collect emigrants - say - and say no more, that this is the coloured man's home - one that offers him more comforts than America. This you are authorized to say in my name, where I am, and where I am not known.
