The book chronicles Stedman's experiences during his travels and military expeditions in Suriname and the interior regions of Guiana, focusing on the complex interactions with local populations, including enslaved Africans and indigenous peoples, as well as the flora and fauna of the region. The opening of the work sets the stage for an exploration of Suriname amid the backdrop of slave uprisings and colonial conflicts. Stedman details his motivations for embarking on this journey, including the struggle against the revolted slaves and his desire to understand a land that few Europeans had ventured into. He introduces himself as a captain in the Scottish brigade and recounts the preparations for his departure, the challenges faced during the voyage, and the initial encounters upon arriving in Suriname. Stedman paints a vivid picture of the land and its inhabitants, highlighting the contrasts between the natural beauty of Guiana and the harsh realities of slavery and colonialism.
