Excerpt from San Domingo: Pen Pictures and Leaves of Travel, Romance and History, From the Portfolio of a Correspondent in the American Tropics The lack of information of late date, and the entire absence of recent works respecting the island of San Domingo, have led the author to believe that a small volume on that subject might be timely and useful. In the summer of 1869, the author visited San Domingo in search of practical knowledge to be spread before the numerous readers of The Herald. During his brief sojourn, through the assistance of many valuable and distinguished acquaintances, he was enabled to become familiar with the affairs of the island. Among those to whom he feels particularly indebted may be mentioned Bueneventura Baez, President of the Republic, Jose Hungria, M. M. Gautier, Felix Del Monte, Ricardo Curiel, Ministers of the various departments of the Government, Senor Leyba, J. Somers Smith, United States Commercial Agent, and Eugene P. Smith.
