Monterey Jack Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Another great one with a full background of buccaneering a privateering in the rum trade is "RUM: The Social and Sociable History of the Real Spirit of 1776" You can get it on Amazon fer about $10 used. Monterey Jack "yes I am a pirate 200 years too late, the cannons don't thunder, there's nothin to plunder, I'm an over-40 victim of fate, arrivin too late.........."

Selkie Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Both are very good reads on the subject, history and socio-economic impact on the events that brought us our modern-day world--still populated with pirates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commodore Swab Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Rum: The Epic Story of the Drink That Conquered the World. After visiting Thailand I was most confused, the Thai people love sugar and sweets, even added to their soups. However for alcohol they make a rice whiskey . . . Now for the real kicker, they grow sugar cane everywhere. So here are a people that love sweets but havent figured out to make sugar cane into rum . . .
