Before it was called Epstein Island, it was called Little Saint James. And the curious thing is that before the island was brought into the possession of the United States, it originally was part of the Danish West Indies. So, it was originally a Danish territory and when the US bought the territory for 25 million in 1917, it included the Little Saint James. Now, how that territory went from public lands to private hands is probably a story that we're going to see repeated once Trump takes over Greenland.
Let that sink in for a minute for those who like to study parallels in history.

You pass it. We were there a few years ago on a cruise and took a shore excursion to St. John. The tour guide pointed it out.
