Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Sir Henry Morgan, Buccaneer: A Romance of the Spanish Main" by Cyrus Townsend Brady is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around the notorious pirate Sir Henry Morgan, who is portrayed as both a cruel buccaneer and a knight of England, capturing the duality of his nature and his complex character. The story explores themes of piracy, revenge, and the quest for power during the tumultuous times of the Spanish Main. The beginning of the tale introduces us to an aged Sir Henry Morgan, reflecting on his life of brutality and adventure as he is faced with impending arrest after King Charles II's death and the ascension of King James II. Following the death of his wife, Morgan receives word of his ousting as Governor and his impending arrest. Instead of surrendering, he conspires to escape, leading to a violent confrontation with guards attempting to detain him. Morgan's cunning and ruthlessness are showcased when he subdues his captors and seizes the opportunity to return to a life of piracy, deciding to lead an old crew once more in pursuit of treasure and glory on the Spanish Main. This sets the stage for a gripping adventure filled with treachery and excitement.
