In 1771 John Gabriel Stedman, a Scots Brigade soldier who had served previously for eleven years in the Dutch military, volunteered to combat marooned escaped slaves in the Dutch colony of Suriname. During his five-year mission from 1773-1777, Stedman kept a diary detailing his observations on plantation slavery, flora and fauna, and Dutch military activity against the Maroons. This is Vol. 2 of 2.
