Book Description
Excerpt from The Black Avenger of the Spanish Main, or the Fiend of Blood: A Story This story, striking, terrible and bloody as are many of its incidents, is founded on historical fact. Its hero was in his day the terror of tl»«* seas whereon lie sailed, and the dread of all the coast of Spanish America; so much so, that if a Spanish mother wished to frighten a refractory child into obedience, she had but to couple her threats with the name of 'Francisco Solonois El Pirato Pernicioso!' 'Death to the Spaniards! was hit battle about - death to the Spaniards, seemed his only thought, aim and desire. Even now, at Chagres, along the Spanish Main, and in the Carribean isles, utter but his name and the women in holy horror will cross themselves, and murmur as they shudder and turn pale - 'Santa Maria guardme!' while the men, remembering his prowess and bloody cruelties, will breathe a malediction against his spirit. The likeness winch adorns this work, we have procured from an engraving published in his own time, and it is supposed to be very accurate. It almost speaks his character. In the cold haughtiness of his look, in the firm compression of the chiselled lip, in each stern lineament, you can rend the man who knew not mercy, whose heart was as hard as his iron will, which always bent man, ay, and even circumstances to his pleasure. But if the reader would know more of him and his terrible character, he must trace our pen through the following pages.
