When we were at the recent Azores Genealogical Conference in Salt Lake City, Rosemarie Capodicci taught us about the Cultura Governo dos Acores sight and how to navigate it. When going through it myself, I found a very interesting book about the Azores under Monografias, Page 3. To make it easy for everyone, here is the direct link: *http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/THEAZORES-BYWALKER/THEAZORES-BYWALKER_item1/index.html* <http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/THEAZORES-BYWALKER/THEAZORES-BYWALKER_item1/index.html> Here is the information from the first page:
THE AZORES or WESTERN ISLANDS. A POLITICAL, COMMERCIAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL ACCOUNT Containing what is historically known of these islands, and descriptive of their scenery, inhabitants, and natural productions; having special reference to the eastern group consisting of: ST. MICHAEL AND ST. MARY, THE FORMIGAS AND DOLLABARET ROCKS; Including suggestions to travelers and invalids who may resort to the archipelago in search of health. With maps and illustrations by: WALTER FREDERICK WALKER The first few pages that I read and a few jumps around to see what it was about appeared to be very interesting and informative. The book is from 1886 so it gives a very early perspective towards everything making it even more intriguing. Hope you like it.
