Cup of gold, a life of Sir Henry Morgan, buccaneer, with occasional reference to history
Book • 1929
The novel follows the life of Henry Morgan from his boyhood in Wales to his rise as a notorious pirate in the Caribbean.
Inspired by tales from an old farmhand, Morgan sets out to seek his fortune, facing various challenges including indentured servitude and eventually becoming a pirate captain.
His goals include capturing Panama from the Spanish and winning the heart of La Santa Roja.
The book delves into themes of power, domination, and the search for happiness, though it is noted for its somewhat predictable plot and less developed characters compared to Steinbeck's later works.
