On the Spanish Main John Masefield 9781534920200 Books Reviews
This book is essentially a history of English piracy in the Caribbean for the century starting with Drake's raids in 1572. One problem with this book and most similar ones is the lack of maps to allow the reader to track the action. The book provides interesting insight into the lives of the pirates and the scope of their forays as well as the hardships they faced.
Masefield has run the gamut in his collection of piratical sea stories here. I had read some other accounts of the same seafaring adventures, but no matter. It was great to read them from another perspective. A pirate's life was not an easy one! Sometimes they boarded another ship and (if successful) stripped her of all the booty and departed; other times they took over the ship and did as they wished with those on it killed them, abandoned them somewhere, sold them as slaves. But the pirates also many times had to go long distances over many days from where their boats were to a town they planned to ravage. Sometimes they succeeded, sometimes they didn't in keeping word from reaching such towns. Sometimes they made it but only exhausted in the extreme by the effort, and sometimes (when warning had reached the townspeople) all the town's valuables (gold and silver) had been hidden in the surrounding woods.
