For God and Gold is a historical novel written by Julian Stafford Corbett and published in 1887. The story is set in the 16th century and follows the adventures of Richard Carver, a young Englishman who sets sail to the New World in search of fortune and glory. Carver joins a group of explorers led by Sir Francis Drake and travels to the Caribbean, where they encounter hostile natives and rival European powers.As Carver navigates the treacherous waters of colonialism and imperialism, he must grapple with questions of morality and loyalty. He becomes embroiled in a power struggle between Drake and the Spanish, and is torn between his duty to his country and his compassion for the native peoples he encounters.For God and Gold is a vivid portrayal of the early days of European colonization in the Americas, and explores themes of ambition, greed, and the clash of cultures. Corbett’s writing is both engaging and informative, and the novel offers a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in world history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
