Negroes Promised Land: York County Laborer Becomes Liberia Merchant Prince
June Moore, once a poor York County day laborer, returns from Liberia claiming success as a merchant with 1500 acres of coffee land, three stores, and a thriving export trade. He describes Liberian government as republic with low corruption, fast crime punishment, and a population of mixed native and American descent. Moore reports elephant coffee sold to Liverpool and Germany, plans to sell directly to the U.S. and notes wage differences between native and American laborers, while praising tropical Liberian life and foretelling continued progress.
