The Outbreak in Jamaica: Maroon Town, Blue Mountains, 1865. Engraving of a sketch by Captain the Hon. L. A. Addington, R. A., of '...the military cantonment and village of Maroon Town, in the Blue Mountains. It derives that name from the neighbouring settlement of the people called Maroons, a mixed race, descended partly from the now extinct aborigines of Jamaica and partly from the runaway negro slaves of a former age, who waged a ferocious war against the British Government till the beginning of this century, when they were finally subdued'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.
