Produced by Steven Gibbs, David King, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Buccaneers in the West Indies in the XVII Century" by Clarence Henry Haring is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book examines the exploits of English and French buccaneers during the seventeenth century, detailing their interactions with the Spanish colonial system and the broader implications for European powers at the time. Haring aims to provide a thorough narrative, drawing from neglected documents and contemporary sources that illuminate the connections between the buccaneers and the colonial histories of England and France. The opening of the volume sets the stage by discussing the context of Spanish colonial administration in the Americas, highlighting its economic policies, challenges, and the resulting vulnerabilities that encouraged buccaneering. It outlines the decline of Spanish dominance, the rise of competing maritime nations, and the motivations behind both the buccaneers’ actions and the policies of the Spanish crown. Haring emphasizes that previous accounts have often relied on traditional narratives without exploring new evidence, thus justifying his work as a necessary reevaluation of buccaneer history.
