About This Item
Doubleday Canada. Near Fine. 1987. 1st Edition. Hardcover. 0385251106 . First Edition. Black hardcovers, gilt titles to the spine. Pages are tightly bound, bright & unmarked, light spine end bumping. The djis unclipped and in Very Good+ condition. "Convincing proof that Canadian history is anything but dull, this book recounts the action-filled careers of some of the country's most successful and violent adventurers, licit and illicit. From Elizabethan privateers seeking fortune off the coasts of Newfoundland to the courtly warriors of Acadia, from the wildly successful letter-of-marque ships of Liverpool, Nova Scotia to the vicious sea fights of the War of 1812, Horwood and Butts reconstruct the lives of the country's finest fighting seamen. Inland, they consider the less reputable careers of the gangs who fought for control of gold and timber in the raw frontier settlements that would one day be Canada. "; 8.60 X 5.60 X 0.90 inches; 227 pages .
