Red Maria Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 This just came into the Library: "Artifacts of the Spanish Colonies of Florida & the Caribbean, 1500-1800, v. 2 Personal Artifacts" By Kathleen Deagan Smithsonian Institution Press, 2002 ISBN 1-58834-035x A marvelously detailed account of personal artifacts with loads of illustrations and photos. Everything from amulets & charms (there a great mermaid charm), jewelry, bells, buttons, buckles sewing equipment, personal firearms and more. A great deal of pirate booty was taken from the Spanish including personal items so this book would be a good reference tool for any pirate.

El Pirata Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 I think when I finally unpack from my move from Panama to the US back in 1999, I will unpack my artifacts box, huge sucker, and take a ton of pics. When I arrived in June of 1999 I opened it briefly only to verify the contents didn't get destroyed then clsed it back up. Pushing the limits means getting out of my comfort zone and giving more when I don't think I have any left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Maria Posted December 18, 2003 Author Share Posted December 18, 2003 I forgot to add that if you can't afford to buy this book, you can proably get it from your local library through an ILL (Inter-Library Loan). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
