A lot of the most exciting details, which get kids interested in and fascinated by their nation's formation are often left out of American history for 6th graders in their school text books. But, in this book they get to learn gripping stories of real life pirates and historical figures, as well as how their activities contributed to the spirit of revolution in the 13 colonies. In addition it's appropriate for students 11-14. Parents and teachers will surely learn something too! Navigate the high seas of the 17th and 18th centuries, a time rife with daring adventurers, illicit trade, and the relentless struggle for supremacy among European powers. Our first port of call is a vivid depiction of a pirate's life, revealing the intricate details of life aboard a pirate ship and the codes they followed. We then delve into the risky business of smuggling, shedding light on the goods that were covertly transported and the motivations behind these daring traders. Embarking on a journey through the original 13 colonies, we uncover why this new world became a veritable playground for pirates and smugglers. We chart a course across the Atlantic to the heart of European trade and conflict, exploring the role European powers played in shaping the era's piracy and smuggling. The Golden Age of Piracy Our voyage doesn't stop there. We explore the Caribbean, a veritable pirate's paradise, and Africa's reluctant participation in the era's triangular trade. Discover the unlikely catalysts of piracy and smuggling: the Spanish and British, and how their rivalry fuelled an era of lawlessness on the seas. Get acquainted with the notorious figures who defined the Golden Age of Piracy and uncover the incredible impact they had on the colonies and their economies. Immerse yourself in the Revolutionary War, where pirates played surprising roles, and witness the measures taken by authorities to curb these illicit activities.

This compelling narrative promises to engage young readers, spark their imaginations, and broaden their understanding of a significant era in American history.

Book excerpt: Willy Jack Cortez loves baseball, hunting, fishing, and being outdoors. Except for the fact that he suffers from claustrophobia, he is like any other normal teen. But any normalcy he had in his life changed on his seventeenth birthday when he inherited an alien sword with magical properties from a deceased grandfather whom he's never met. From there Willy's day gets even weirder. He is visited by an alien messenger and learns that his grandfather had been a passenger on the spacecraft that crashed near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. Furthermore, he also learns from the messenger that his grandfather's true identity was William I, King of Whiterook and Willy is the sole heir to the throne. However, there is one catch. Along with the sword and kingdom, Willy also inherits a prophecy written more than sixty years before his birth, a prophecy which will send him on a quest light years from Earth and plunge him into the medieval world of the four kingdoms, a land of exquisite beauty, yet also filled with many dangers. A land where dragons, gargoyles, elves, demons, and giant birds of prey called Warbirds are all very real. Once there, Willy quickly discovers that being a royal prince is nothing like he had imagined it would be. Not only is it very demanding, but it could also get him killed. As the heir to Whiterook, his very presence has put him on a collision course with a powerful demon lord, named Daemon...and only one of them can live. Willy must rely on his Indian skills learned in the wild and his knowledge of 20th century battle tactics in order to survive. His only weapons are his grandfather's sword, a fierce eagle named Terunga, and a loquacious alien machine called Gyver that speaks directly to his brain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mankind's history has been determined by war. And throughout history, the way that wars are won and lost, and whether they are fought at all, has been determined more by weapons than any other single force. Before there was man, there were weapons. In his investigation of arms and culture, noted military historian Robert O'Connell goes all the way back to the first weapons: the claws, horns, and hooves of our evolutionary antecedents. Even then, a species' weaponry determined its future. So it has been for the human animal. From the ancient Assyrians' conquest of bronze, to the Toledo steel of the Spanish conquistadors, to the MIRV missiles of nuclear deterrence, the great weapons have set their own agendas. They continue to shape our culture and our lives today. THE SOUL OF THE SWORD gives world history from a club, gun, or aircraft carrier's perspective. Along the way, sidebars and drawings from premier military illustrator John Batchelor illuminate the weapons themselves. In this fascinating book O'Connell unearths the extraordinary weapons of our past, and explains our most basic weapons as never before. Our killing tools are much more than fearsome curiosities; they are the engines of history.
