Back in the old days before tourism, Jost was known as a farm island providing crops and animals for market in St Thomas. There were basically two careers on Jost - Farmers lived up in the hills and tended sheep and cows, and fishermen lived in Great and Little Harbour. There was a cattle dip behind where the current clinic is located, and cattle were loaded onto sloops on the shoreline out past Foxy's. From there they were sailed to the waterfront in Charlotte Amalie.
Just love hearing all the history behind these magical places ..thanks for sharing .
A few years ago I was very fortunate to purchase this great little read directly from George himself ! Autographed copy with flint and all ! So interesting to read about his adventures .
