Discover the "fascinating and outrageously readable" account of the roguish acts of the first pirates to raid the Pacific in a crusade that ended in a sensational trial back in England--perfect for readers of Nathaniel Philbrick and David McCullough (Douglas Preston, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Lost City of the Monkey God)

The year is 1680, in the heart of the Golden Age of Piracy, and more than three hundred daring, hardened pirates--a potent mix of low-life scallywags and a rare breed of gentlemen buccaneers--gather on a remote Caribbean island. The plan: to wreak havoc on the Pacific coastline, raiding cities, mines, and merchant ships. The booty: the bright gleam of Spanish gold and the chance to become legends. So begins one of the greatest piratical adventures of the era--a story not given its full due until now.

Inspired by the intrepid forays of pirate turned Jamaican governor Captain Henry Morgan--yes, that Captain Morgan--the company crosses Panama on foot, slashing its way through the Darien Isthmus, one of the thickest jungles on the planet, and liberating a native princess along the way. After reaching the South Sea, the buccaneers, primarily Englishmen, plunder the Spanish Main in a series of historic assaults, often prevailing against staggering odds and superior firepower. A collective shudder racks the western coastline of South America as the English pirates, waging a kind of proxy war against the Spaniards, gleefully undertake a brief reign over Pacific waters, marauding up and down the continent.

With novelistic prose and a rip-roaring sense of adventure, Keith Thomson guides us through the pirates' legendary two-year odyssey. We witness the buccaneers evading Indigenous tribes, Spanish conquistadors, and sometimes even their own English countrymen, all with the ever-present threat of the gallows for anyone captured. By fusing contemporaneous accounts with intensive research and previously unknown primary sources, Born to Be Hanged offers a rollicking account of one of the most astonishing pirate expeditions of all time.

Looks so real!
These are so much fun! I got it for my child to use with her stuffed animals. Out dogs frequently walk up to the bowl thinking it’s food for them. I like that the dog food is all glued together so that it’s not individual pieces since it’s a toddler that plays with it. The bone treats are impressively realistic. I’m very pleased with my purchase. Great product at a great price.

Great for dementia patients
I ordered this for my 94 year old mother with dementia to “feed” her stuffed cat. She was trying to feed her cat real food because “he’s hungry”, so this was a great solution. Her cat didn’t starve and mother was happy.

Long lasting dog treat
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
My dog absolutely loved this stuffed shin bone—it kept her occupied way longer than most treats, which is always a win. It’s a great option when you need something that will actually hold their attention. What I Loved:    •   Long-lasting chew compared to typical treats    •   The stuffing inside keeps dogs interested and engaged    •   Helps with boredom and keeps them busy    •   Once finished, the bone can be reused with other fillings One Small Con:    •   It can get a little messy depending on how your dog chews, so it’s best to give it in an easy-to-clean area Who It’s Best For: Perfect for medium to strong chewers or dogs that need something to keep them occupied for a while. Final Verdict: This is a great value and a go-to for keeping dogs entertained. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a longer-lasting treat that your dog will actually stick with! 🐾
