About this book
English and French buccaneers of the seventeenth-century West Indies are the subject of C. H. Haring's 1910 history, which began as a thesis for the Board of Modern History at Oxford in 1909. Haring cares less about retelling the famous raids than about tracing how the English and French governments treated these sea-rovers, using documents earlier writers overlooked. Chapters cover the Spanish colonial system, the conquest of Jamaica, Tortuga from 1655 to 1664, Porto Bello and Panama, and the government's turn against them. Ten maps and illustrations are included.
