In 1796 “The Proceedings of the Honourable House of Assembly relative to the Maroons; including the correspondence between the Right Honourable Earl Balcarres and the Honourable Major-General Walpole, during the Maroon rebellion; with the report of the Joint Special Secret Committee, to whom those papers were referred,” edited by Bryan Edwards, was published at St. Jago de la Vega; while in the same year was published in London “The Proceedings of the Governor and Assembly of Jamaica, in regard to the Maroon negroes: published by order of the Assembly. To which is prefixed an introductory account, containing observations on the disposition, character, manners, and habits of life, of the Maroons, and a detail of the origin, progress and termination of the late war between those people and the white inhabitants.” This was published in great measure as an answer to the attack made by Fox in the House of Commons on the action of the Assembly of Jamaica with regard to the Maroons. The same “Account of the Maroon Negroes in the Island of Jamaica” was included in Bryan Edwards’ “Historical Survey of the Island of St. Domingo,” published in 1801. In the “Lives of the Lindsays,” published in 1858, is an account of “The Rise, Progress and Termination of the Maroon War.” Accounts of the Maroons will also be found in the histories of Long (to whom Edwards owns his indebtedness) and Bridges. The story of the Maroon War, from a military point of view, is told in the 7th chapter of the “History of the 17th Lancers,” by the Honourable J. W. Fortescue, and in a briefer form in the same writer’s “History of the British Army.” “The Maroon,” the work of the well-known novelist, Captain Mayne Reid (first published in 1862), described a sugar estate named “Welcome Hall” near Montego Bay, and a neighbouring pen, and the scene is laid entirely in St. James and Trelawny. The time is shortly anterior to the passing of the Emancipation Act in 1833, and the story, which incidentally imparts much information about local natural history and social life at the time, is, as might be expected from its author, full of exciting adventures. In 1898 Lady Blake contributed an article on “The Maroons of Jamaica” to the “North American Review.” The published accounts of the Maroon War are all more or less of a partisan spirit. Bryan Edwards holds a brief for the planters, Dallas for the Maroons, the writer of the “Lives of the Lindsays” for Balcarres, and even Mr. Fortescue shows a slight partiality for Walpole. An account of the cantonment of Maroon Town in 1848 is given in “Memorials of Captain Hedley Vicars, 97th Regiment,” 1881. A brief account of the Maroons in Sierra Leone is given in “The Rise of British West Africa,” by Claude George (1904).
