Early Canal Zone living realities chronicled 13 Mar 2012
By Gustavo A. Mellander, Ph.D., D.H.L. - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
This book is a classic written by a Canal Zone policeman about the canal and its workers.

It was widely read and quoted. It provided insight of how Zonians lived in the early days of the canal and some consulted it before seeking employment there.

His police badge was 88 and thus its inclusion in the title. He was a keen observer and had an easy to read journalist style. He traveled through out the Caribbean and collected and published his impressions as well.

It is not hard to realize why the bush native does not love the American. Put yourself in his breechclout. Suppose a throng of unsympathetic foreigners suddenly appeared resolved to turn all the world you knew into a lake, just because that absurd outside world wanted to float steamers you never knew the use of, from somewhere you never heard of, to somewhere you did not know. &quote;
