Follow the changing fortunes of an early American family living
through tumultuous times. The Cary family of Chelsea,
Massachusetts, prospered as plantation owners and managers for
nearly two decades in the West Indies before the Grenada slave
revolts of 1795-1796 upended the sugar trade. Sarah Gray Cary used
her quick intelligence and astute judgment to help her family adapt
to their shifting fortunes. From Samuel Cary's departure from
Boston to St. Kitts in 1764 to the second generation's search for
trade throughout the West Indies, Susan Clair Imbarrato tells the
compelling story of the Cary family from prosperity and crisis to
renewal. Drawing on a wealth of archival material, this engaging
book describes how Sarah Cary managed households in both Grenada
and Chelsea while raising thirteen children. In particular,
Imbarrato examines Sarah's correspondence with her sons Samuel and
Lucius, in which they address family matters, share opinions on
political and social events, discuss literature and philosophy, and
speculate about business. Sarah Gray Cary from Boston to Grenada
offers a rare female perspective on colonial America and Caribbean
plantation life and provides a unique view of a seminal period of
early American history.
