West Indies on the old map Clearly visible and the Caribbean islands, boggling

What are we going to talk about today? All about the same is not - I will tell you more about their lives and how their destiny has brought forest hunters to the world of merciless sea robbery. Let's go

Not especially hunters, especially on wild boar and buffalo. They dressed tar soaked with tar and resin jackets. Not only are they made of solid cloth, while hunting with tar and tar, the blood of animals killed is also mixed. Of course, there is not a big closet for the forest hunters, so in time the buccaneer turns into a real armadillo - all thanks to a jacket that hardens hard. It was not easy to break through the armor. The rest of the clothes, knee-high pants, pigskin shoes and a bag of belts, which were bandaged. In his head was a wide round brimmed hat, to keep the sun from baking. And now imagine that young man. So I think: the real thug from the big way. Well, in our case from the forest. A member of the Dominican Catholic monastic order, Du Tertre, was sent to the Caribbean Islands as a missionary in the 1640s, in his book giving the following to the painters: "The cruel butcher, who spent eight days in the slaughterhouse, not washing. "

But do not think it's not an image - these are some wild, aboriginal people. Armed they are pretty good, mostly rifles with silicone keys and peeps. As you can see, firearms of the XVII century and beyond can not stand the modern pistol and machine gun, which is much more mobile and comfortable to use. To refill a spear or shotgun, it is necessary to spend a lot of time, that in the same wild genital hunt is not allowed. Therefore, during the hunt, the buccaneer still tries to eat its prey with a knife or a machete.

Of course, to survive alone in such conditions is a difficult task, and consequently, in the Caribbean Islands of the seventeenth century, an entire gang-artel for 5-10 people began to take shape. They live by the fact that they hunt and trade, in the best traditions of art and piracy, adding all the spoils and proceeds to the obshchak. The Buccaneers live a life of little work, and as noted in his book "Pirates of America", a pirate, explorer and writer of French pirate Alexander Exkvemelin lives as a forest hunter "has not left the site this month for three or four, sometimes even for a year. "

I haveAs soon as the sun rises, the buccaneer birds have gone out into the forest to hunt. One carrying weapons and everything else needed, the second - driving a pack of dogs. Someone always lives in beechen and cooks food. So, most of them spend their time in the jungle to hunt, from time to time visiting the cities for fun, filling liquor and tobacco stores, and selling meat and skins that are harvested for sale. In this village of thugs, of course, do not like.
"Better than three years to stay on board, rather than serving as a buccaneer," - the same Excquemelin talks about forest hunters in the Antilles. And he knew exactly what he was talking about: in his time he had to serve for several years. to say that in general, the area where the buccaneers settled - the islands of Tortuga, Espanyol, Nevis and Saint Christopher - belonged to the Spanish Crown from the late 16th century, that is, not withdrawn. Yes, this needs to be centered, as hunters do not burden themselves with this fact and behave on the islands of Antilles in an unusual and irrespective way of the Spanish type - in the time of the magnificent colonial empire.Yes, Noery does not recognize the local authority, does not leave it to anyone and does not report it to anyone. The ruler of Tortuga Bertrand d'Augeron in 1665 wrote: "They live like savages, do not recognize any power and without superiors, and commit thousands of evils.Try to tell this forest robber that he has to pay taxes and taxes - this can not be a question. Everything they do is illegal: from hunting to smuggling with locals, which directly violates the Spanish colonial monopoly. Of course, the latter can not leave him like that.The buccaneer islands, which I mentioned above, finally began to be invaded by Spanish punishment expeditions. Particularly fierce is the struggle in Espanola, where a real partisan war is folded. With years of Spanish ships on the horizon becoming more and more. They even went as far as destroying local livestock in order to drive the hunters of their livelihoods.The Buccaneer people just have to respond and adjust: the Spaniards really provoke them to engage in piracy.

Moreover, over time, the islands began to colonize more and more people, the composition of the national population changed, resulting in the occupation of the local population varied. Antilles are united not only by forest hunters: builders, agricultural workers, metal handlers, cooks, and others start working here and so on.Due to this very low nature with wild and illegal activities they are starting to get more out of the picture. This forces them to go "underground", forming some of their marginal bandit communities.

However, according to research, the buccaneer people settled in the archipelago, most of them have Norman roots, ie they are from Normandy. Sea, swimming, fishing - all this about them, so move to a new area, they barelyforgetting their "element", mainly because there is a vast expanse of sea.

So, according to one allowable version, hunting and preparing the meat for pedestrians in just a few ways "additional discipline" - it is impossible to imagine a sailor without harvesting bacon and corned beef. In the homeland, in France, with meat extraction, everything is much easier than in the Caribbean, so hunters have to adapt and kill a lot of time to hunt.It is possible they even share in groups - some in action at sea, while others wade through buffalo and wild boar.

Over time, among the homeless seafarers there is another concept, which is sometimes replaced with the word "taker" - "you-killer", ie cow slaughter. French hunters, or Cau killers, have "brothers" among the English: they are also smugglers, hunters, and pirates in one person. But at the end of the XVII century the word.....
