The Rise and Fall of Falmouth

The Rise and Fall of Falmouth, Jamaica (1655-1959), is an attempt by writer and historian Carey Robinson to document the evolution of Falmouth from its "hey days" - the year of the English Invasion in 1655 - to the start of the twentieth century when the Falmouth Courthouse was destroyed by fire, symbolizing the end of colonialism and the emergence of a new Jamaica. This text gives a quick and sensitive glance into the history and legacy of the town.
