Book Description
Excerpt from In the Wake of the Buccaneers There is no more entrancing body of water in either the Western or the Eastern Hemisphere - than the Caribbean Sea, with a fringe of lovely tropical islands on the one side and on the other the Spanish Main and its picturesque centuries-old towns and fascinating sights. Aside from its beauty, its delightful climate, and its ever-shifting scenes, the Caribbean and its shores are redolent of romance. It was the starting-point of those brave though ruthless adventurers who carved a new world for Castile and Leon. For centuries it was the treasure-house of the world and the battle-ground of the mightiest European powers. Across this sapphire sea sailed the caravels of Columbus, the Golden Hind of Drake, and the stately, plate-laden galleons of Spain. And across this same sea coursed those fierce sea-rovers the buccaneers. Of all the dare-devil spirits who sailed the Caribbean and ravaged the Spanish Main, the buccaneers were the most picturesque and romantic.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Buccaneer Book: Songs of the Black Flag Proem The graves are yours that have no name, Yours were the keels that left no trace, Save in smoke and sorrow and shame, - What have ye now to face? Yours were the times when blood was red, Yours were the years when life was cheap; All is over: you are dead: Gentlemen, soundly sleep! Soundly sleep with steel at your side, Dagger and cutlass, stained to the hilt, Lying so still - Death for your bride - In your splendid courage and guilt. You have fought the fight, you have paid the vow, Sleep an ye can, then, under the years; We drain one beaker unto you now: I give you: The Buccaneers!

Book Description
Excerpt from Blackbeard, Buccaneer The year of 1718 seems very dim and far away, but the tall lad who sauntered down to the harbor of Charles Town, South Carolina, on a fine, bright morning, was much like the youngsters of this generation. His clothes were quite different, it is true, and he lived in a queer, rough world, but he detested grammar and arithmetic and loved adventure, and would have made a sturdy tackle for a modern high-school football team.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Buccaneer: A Tale The seaman, for such was his calling, was about five feet eight or nine inches in height. His hair, as it appeared from beneath a cap singularly at variance with the fashion of the time, curled darkly round a face, the marked features of which were sufficiently prominent, even in that uncertain light, to denote a person of no ordinary mind or character. Hi's figure was firm and well-proportioned, and, though he might have numbered fifty years, it had lost neither strength nor elasticity. His whole bearing was that of a man whom nothing could have turned from a cherished purpose, were it for good or evil though his eye was, as we have described it, fierce and acute, it was also restless and impatient as the waves upon which he had toiled from his earliest years. Again he surveyed the cliff, and, stepping close to its base, applied the point of a boat-spear to remove the sea-weed that spring and high tides had heaped against it; he then sum moued the youth to his assistance: after a few moments' search, the lad exclaimed.
