Pages : 229
Book Description
Pirate Princes and Yankee Jacks is a tribute to the men and boys who created and served in America's first navy. It sets forth David Forsyth's Adventures in America's Battles on Sea and Desert with the Buccaneer Princes of Barbary* (North Africa), with an Account of a Search under the Sands of the Sahara Desert for the Treasure-filled Tomb of Ancient Kings. It is about the pioneering American captains and sailors who once suffered slavery and torture to make the Mediterranean a safe sea for Yankee vessels. It also remembers the Americans who lay for nine years in Turkish prisons and about General William Eaton, who led a little band of Americans and Greeks on a desperate venture across the North African desert to release the imprisoned crew of the Philadelphia from Turkish bondage, and who, for the first time, raised the United States flag over a fort of the old world. * Barbary, or the Barbary Coast, is an area along the North Coast of Africa. It was not always a unified political entity. From the 16th century onwards, it was divided into the political entities of the Regency of Algiers, Tunis, and Tripolitania (Tripoli). Major rulers and petty monarchs during the times of the Barbary States' plundering parties included the Pasha or Dey of Algiers, the Bey of Tunis and the Bey of Tripoli. ================ KEYWORDS/TAGS: Pirate Princes, Yankee Jacks, Barbary Coast, Algiers, Tunis, Tripolitania, Tripoli, America, USA, First Navy, Battles, Sea, Desert, Buccaneer Princes, North Africa, Sands, Sahara Desert, Treasure, Tomb, Ancient Kings, captains, Yankee vessels, Turkey, imprisoned, prisoner, General William Eaton, the Philadelphia, bondage, release, rescue, US Flag, political entity, Barbary States, Pasha, Dey of Algiers, Bey of Tunis, Bey of Tripoli, Man from the East, Capture, Corsairs, Rose of Egypt, First Voyage, Mutiny, Betrayal, American Frigate, Cattleship, Old Ironsides, Connecticut Yankee, sultan, Court of Tunis, blow up, loss, American Eagle, African Desert, Desert Girl, Reuben James, Save, Stephen Decatur, Desert City, Derne, Sold, Slavery, Home Surprises, Pirate Nest, Bloody Bashaws, Sixpence, ransom, Wrecking, Piracy, Communities, Mediterranean, Roman Times, Fighter, Join, Caravan, Tokra, Treasure City, Dreams, Gloomy, Liberate, Chains of Barbarism, First Time, Fort, Old World, Tobruk,
