Norm's website St. Lucia By Norman Goldman When one opens the softbound guidebook entitled St. Lucia, written by Chris Higgins and published by Ulysses Travel Guides , we immediately note the quotation of Derek Walcott, a Lucian poet and playwright: I come from a place that likes grandeur it likes large gestures it is not inhibited by flourish it is a society of physical performance it is a society of style I guess this, in a nutshell, is a succinct but nevertheless accurate description of this enchanting but relatively unknown Caribbean Island called St. Lucia For those of us who never heard of St. Lucia or where it is located, the first few chapters of this guidebook will provide us with the necessary facts should we decide to travel to the Island. We are informed by the author that St. Lucia is located at the heart of the Lesser Antilles , the Caribbean region extending east of Puerto Rico to the northern coast of Venezuela. It is one of a thin line of islands known as the Windwards that cuts across the rough Atlantic to form the tail end of the West Indies.

HISTORY INDEX Country Ranks Introduction History ... [TOP] Saint Lucia Historical Setting http://workmall.com/wfb2001/saint_lucia/saint_lucia_history_historical_setting.html Source: The Library of Congress Country Studies < BACK TO HISTORY CONTENTS Before the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1492, most of the Caribbean was peopled by three types, or groups, of inhabitants: the Ciboney or Guanahuatebey, the Taino or Arawak, and the Caribs. The cultural distinctions among the three groups are not great; the single greatest differentiating factor appears to be their respective dates of arrival in the region. The Ciboney seem to have arrived first and were found in parts of Cuba and the Bahamas. They also seem to have had the most elementary forms of social organization. The most numerous groups were the Arawaks, who resided in most of the Greater AntillesCuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola (presently, Haiti and the Dominican Republic), and Puerto Rico. The smaller eastern island chain was the home of the Caribs, a tropical forest group related to most of the indigenous Indians found in Central and South America. Barbados and a number of smaller islands were not permanently inhabited. Estimates of the size of the pre-Hispanic population of the Americas vary considerably. Both Columbus and Father Bartolomé de Las Casas (who wrote the first history of the Spanish conquest and treatment of the Indians) produced estimates that appear to defy credibility. Las Casas thought the population of the Caribbean might have been in the vicinity of several million, and by virtue of his having lived in both Hispaniola and Cuba where he held

It is part of the West Indian archipelago which stretches for more than 2,000 miles from Cuba southwards to the northern coast of South America. The island is the second largest of the Windward group, which themselves are part of the Lesser Antilles, and is 27 miles long and 14 miles wide, covering an area of 238sq miles and with a population of around 150,000. St. Lucia manages to house an incredibly diverse landscape into a small island. Just along the west coast you'll find breath-taking steep mountains, lush tropical forests, beautiful green hills, jagged cliffs and charming beaches. The Pitons and Volcano are the most famous sights on the island. Any time is a good time to visit St. Lucia. The high season is generally regarded as between mid-November and March, the driest months, but the island now attracts visitors by air and from cruise ships year round. St. Lucia enjoys a marvellous climate and even when it does rain, it is warm rain and generally does not last. The island lies with the tropical zone in the path of the north-east trade winds and has a typical sub tropical maritime climate of year round sunny, warm weather.
