Description

The filibusters, American expansionist adventurers and freebooters who launched (mostly unsuccessful) expeditions into South and Central America in the 1840-60’s. A fascinating and largely forgotten (in the U.S.) period. A very good copy with light shelf wear, spine head slightly split, in price-clipped dust jacket. (320 pages, map end papers, 9 illustrations, bibliography, index).
