Between 1810 and 1825, 7,000 English, Scottish and Irish mercenaries sailed to Gran Colombia to fight against Spanish colonial rule under the rebel forces of Simón Bolívar. Their motives were mixed. Some travelled for money, others travelled for honour. Adventuring Through Spanish Colonies explores the lives of these men – their encounters with other soldiers, indigenous people, local women and slaves – as recounted in documents that fall outside the usual remit of military, political and economic historians. Matthew Brown considers the social and cultural aspects of the presence of these ‘foreigners’, and shows how they were an essential part of the revolution which eventually gave South America its freedom. Using archival research from England, Scotland, Ireland, Spain, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Colombia, Adventuring Through Spanish Colonies clearly shows the active role that these mercenaries, informal outriders of the British Empire, played in the creation of Latin America as we know it today.
Think of the most amazing adventure story you have ever heard about, read about, or watched on film. How did it make you feel? Probably excited and inspired and possibly a bit envious, and yearning for more adventure in your own life. It happens to all of us. And too often we dismiss the thought out-of-hand. After all, isnt adventure reserved for the talented, the young, the strong? Author John Hook says: No! Adventure is available right now to all of us, regardless of our age or physical limitations. He makes his point by broadening the definition of adventure to include the pursuit of any goal that may be beyond ones reach. The goal can be physical, intellectual, emotional, or even spiritual. He then validates his concept with a host of fascinating true stories of adventures of all types. The authors goal: To extend your thinking of possible adventures for yourself and inspire you to never give up the search for new adventures. Bottom line: If the prospect of a richer, more exciting life appeals to you, read this book!
