notes:
Now considered an indigenous people, the original Maroons were slaves who were freed when the Spanish left Jamaica upon the arrival of the British in 1655. Under Captain Cudjoe [or Kojo], they fought the first Maroon war against the English which sporadically continued until the Treaty of 1738. In 1795 a Second Maroon War broke out when about 300 Maroons revolted in Trelawney Town. The Maroons were defeated and the ones who remained in Jamaica retained some of their territories, including Trelawney Town. In the List of Plates, this image is titled, "View of Trelawney Town, shewing the Maroon mode of fighting."
