An appealing account of British /Scottish exploration and attempted conquest from the Spanish in Central America and the Caribbean during the 16th and 17th centuries.Quest and deception, along with ensuing trials and tribulations for riches in the land of gold, whether it be for valuable metals, natural commodities or colonization, are brought to life with Sir Walter Ralegh, the somewhat feigned and wandering priest Thomas Gage and buccaneer Lionel Wafer's experiences throughout this region.Each narrative is thorough and complete of the adventures and times that they reflect.An enjoyable and learned read.
