The participants' stories tell of childhood friends, games, foods, prominent merchants, historical figures, masquerades, and colorful characters who lived in Watergut, Free Gut, Gallows Bay, and other neighborhoods. The stories are about life in a Caribbean town that had Danish and English influences and after 1917 an American influence.
