The first full examination of the English trade in indentured servants, who paid for their transportation and keep, and continued to work unpaid for years on their arrival. Often these people were deceived and coerced, despite half-hearted government efforts to curtail the activities of what was, after all, a useful crime for the English state.

Autorenporträt
John Wareing was formerly Head of the School of Geography and Environmental Studies in the University of North London. He is a well-travelled Historical Geographer with a doctorate in History and a long-standing interest in migration and indentured service to the American colonies. He has spent enjoyable periods in libraries and record offices in England, North America, and the West Indies, and his early retirement gave him the opportunity to question and revise some of the conclusions published about the early indentured servant trade from London.
