Bay islands Magazine is proud to present an article by the historian Matthew Harper fetched from MJ Harper’s blog!
In 1650, Spanish forces launched two attacks on Roatán, where buccaneers and their Indigenous allies stood ready to defend their settlement. Drawing on Spanish colonial accounts, this article retraces the fierce battles around Port Royal and the devastating aftermath, including the forced removal of Indigenous islanders. Discover a dramatic chapter in the Bay Islands’ history.
This is according to himself a penultimate chapter of his soon to be published book about the Pre-Columbian Bay Islander. We’re looking forward to presenting and reviewing this book when published!
