Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Buccaneers and Their Reign of Terror: An Authentic History The roar of American guns against Spanish tyranny in the West Indies was the accompaniment of a brilliant and marvelous spectacle, as well as the completing vic tory of the most extended struggle for liberty against a single power, since the beginning of history. But the general public is not familiar with the fact that many more desperate and extraordinary battles have been fought in those seas. The conflicts were far less spectacular than the one that drove Spain from its last foothold in the Western Hemisphere, but they were more daring. Doubtful and cruel. The warfare was not between superbly equipped ironclad war-ships with thirteen-inch guns, but usually between a sloop filled with uncouth musketeers, and one or more Spanish galleons bearing half a score of three or four pounders. Sometimes the uncouth men, known as Buccaneers, were crowded in a canoe, and the vessel they were capturing was a Spanish war-ship. Considering that Spain in the time of her greatest weakness fought so desperately and madly against giv ing independence to Cuba, it could well be a matter of curious speculation, to those who have not hereto fore been interested in the West Indies, how Spain, in the greatness of her national power, came to allow half a dozen nations to appropriate all but the two islands freed by American intervention.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1899 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER IX KING OF THE BUCCANEERS Dr. Jonathan Swift facetiously records that bishops of undoubted piety and great learning were appointed in England to places of financial responsibility in the Church of Ireland; but, unfortunately, when these good churchmen crossed Bagshot heath, on the way to their place of work, they were all murdered by highwaymen, who took their papers, assumed their authority, and proceeded to occupy the positions of the worthy appointees, thereafter unblushingly plundering their Irish constituency in the good name of the vanished Englishmen. In like manner every good man who was sent out from England or France as Governor in the West Indies, during the reign of the Buccaneers, certainly fell overboard on the way, and his place and name were taken by a friend of robbery and anarchy. For all the West India Governors, whatever their fame as good men had been at home, invariably levied tribute on the Buccaneers, and enriched themselves with the plunder taken from the Spaniards. Regardless of the treaties made between the mother country and Spain, the English officers and merchants eased their conscience, if such a commodity was ever brought with them, by the declaration, which became a maxim, that "there is no peace beyond the line." Needless to say everything Spanish was "beyond the line," although the imaginary "line" was indefinitely located along the northern boundary of the Caribbean Sea, or upon the northern coast of South America, as convenience and interest dictated. Even the military saints that came over in Venables' army became in a short time the most notorious sinners, and mild-mannered Quakers put on velvet suits, strung necklaces of pistols over their shoulders, and supplied themselves with poniards...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The True Story of Piracy on the Spanish Main. This is the incredible true story of piracy in the Caribbean, proof positive that fact is stranger than fiction. From the moment the English established their first tiny colonies in the New World, semi-legal pirates took on the might of the Spanish Empire. The lure of Spanish gold was so strong that French and Dutch privateers soon joined them. Sometimes licensed by governments, but often not, desperate gangs of cut-throats dominated the Caribbean throughout the seventeenth century. Led by ruthless captains, they wrested many of the key islands from Spanish control, then fought each other for the region's strategic bases. Most notoriously, the 'brethren of the coast' established the pirate port of Tortuga, the infamous city of crime. From Piet Heyn's capture of the entire Spanish treasure fleet in 1628, to Henry Morgan's sack of Panama, this was the Age of the Bucaneers. This epic story continued up to the destruction of the pirates' lair of Port Royal by an earthquake in 1692 -- recognised at the time as the judgement of God. . . International treaties at the end of the century brought this dramatic era to a close, by which time the division of the Caribbean among European powers was complete. And a legend had been born.

Book excerpt: Pirates are often glorified as nautical Robin Hoods, heroes of the seas - and some were great navigators, map makers, and discoverers. But they were also thieves and murderers. They were undoubtedly merciless, but their crimes took place in a cruel age when even children might be hanged for stealing pennies. Here, from historian Sam Jones, the likes of Francis Drake, Captain Morgan, Captain Kidd, Blackbeard, and even some female pirates, such as Mary Reed and Anne Bonny, spring to life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “How true is it?” is a common refrain of patrons coming out of movie theatres after the latest film on pirates, Vikings, or mummies. While Hollywood usurps the past for its own entertainment purposes, archaeologists and historians know a lot about many of these subjects, digging up stories often more fascinating than the ones projected on screen. This distinguished group of archaeologists select key subjects and genres used by Hollywood and provide the historical and archaeological depth that a movie cannot—what really happened in history. Topics include Egypt, the Wild West, Civil War submarines, Vikings, the Titanic, and others. The book should be of interest to introductory archaeology and American history classes, courses on film and popular culture, and to a general audience. Alternate Selection, History Book Club.
