This book also highlights that although large plantations languished, many former slaves worked tirelessly and became successful small-scale landowners.Bigelow, John is the author of 'Jamaica in 1850 Or, the Effects of Sixteen Years of Freedom on a Slave Colony', published 2006 under ISBN 9780252073274 and ISBN 0252073274.
