"Sarah Barber's examination of what was called the 'torrid zone' between Carolina and the sun-drenched islands near the equator brings what life was during the seventeenth century there in a way that is both concise and complete. This is a book will be a valuable addition to the libraries of researchers trying to construct a fuller picture of who those original settlers of Carolina were. ... Barber's book is a slim volume, but one packed with valuable information." (Carolina Chronicles Magazine, June, 2016)
