Jumbee Jamaican Red-Haired Devil

Another shorty. Here we have a piece linking the devil with red hair. It's from an 18th century letter which states that the slave population of Jamaica believed that after death men would..

"..go down below into the Earth, to live along with Jumbee, viz. the Devil, whom they insist upon, to be of neither White nor Black, but of a red Mullatto Colour, without Horns, Tail, or cloven Hoofs: However, they all agree, that he has long Red Hair growing on his Breast."

The letter can be found as part of the collection of letters that make up the following work:
