The Revolution I and II Author Event @ Antilles Trading Company & Pirate Museum ––
Saturday April 13, 10am to 3pm
641 Brevard Ave., Cocoa Village, FL
Cheryl Bartlam du Bois and Debra Ann Pawlak will reveal their two recent books’ focus on the early years of the American Revolution.
And with pirates soon invading Tampa Bay, learn about the democratic governance of pirate ships, the difference between pirates and privateers, how privateers were instrumental in winning independence for the U.S., and how women helped with the creation of a new nation.
Also, discover how Florida remained loyal to, and under the control of, British rule during the Revolution and based their stronghold at Castillo de San Marcos in St. Augustine––the perfect stronghold from which to launch their maritime battle with the Patriots and protect their interests in the West Indies. General Washington was never successful in his five attacks to run the British from Florida.
