The Golden Belt
Published originally in 1860, this novel, No. 5 of the Beadle's Dime Novels series, takes the reader to Hispaniola in the days after Columbus's discovery of the island, when the young knights and cavaliers left there by Columbus to establish a Spanish colony are in an uneasy relationship with the fierce Carib (or Taino) natives. The story is about the colonists and their beautiful, Eden-like new home; the romance between a young Spanish knight and a mixed-blood native princess; and the final great battle between the colonists and the Taíno cacique (or chieftain) Caonabo (a non-fictional, historical person).
Colin Barker, the credited author, is probably a pseudonym used by a writer who also wrote under the following names: Edward S. Ellis, John Lewis, Henry J. Thomas, and Mrs. Henry J. Thomas. It is unclear which of the pen names was the author's real name, if any.
Preparing old books for digital publication is a labor of love at Travelyn Publishing. We hold our digital versions of public domain books up against any others with no fear of the comparison. Our conversion work is meticulous, utilizing a process designed to eliminate errors, maximize reader enjoyment, and recreate as much as possible the atmosphere of the original book even as we are adding the navigation and formatting necessary for a good digital book. While remaining faithful to a writer's original words, and the spellings and usages of his era, we are not above correcting obvious mistakes. If the printer became distracted after placing an 'a' at the end of a line and then placed another 'a' at the beginning of the next line (they used to do this stuff by hand you know!), what sort of mindless robots would allow that careless error to be preserved for all eternity in the digital version, too? Not us. That's why we have the audacity to claim that our re-publications are often better than the originals.
