Adventuring Through Spanish Colonies : Simon Bolivar, Foreign Mercenaries and the Birth of New Nations. Between 1810 and 1825, 7,000 English, Scottish and Irish mercenaries sailed to Gran Colombia to fight against Spanish colonial rule under the rebel forces of Sim?n Bol?var. Their motives were mixed. Some travelled for money, others travelled for honour.

Between 1810 and 1825, seven thousand British, Scottish, and Irish mercenaries traveled to Gran Colombia to fight against Spanish colonial rule under the rebel forces of Simón Bolívar. Their motives were mixed. Some traveled for money, others for honor. Adventuring Through Spanish Colonies explores the lives of these men—their encounters with other soldiers, indigenous people, local women, and slaves—as recounted in adventure stories, military histories, and British imperial history. As Matthew Brown illustrates, the history of Britain and its colonial subjects can no longer be easily defined. The colonists were themselves adventurers, penetrating Latin America beyond the formal boundaries of the empire during the early nineteenth century, and even (as these narratives show) fighting for its independence. As Brown demonstrates, these “foreigners” were an essential part of the revolution that eventually gave Spain's colonies their freedom. Using archival research from England, Scotland, Ireland, Spain, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Colombia, Adventuring Through Spanish Colonies clearly shows the active role these mercenaries played in the creation of Latin America as we know it today.
Reviews about Adventuring Through Spanish Colonies: Simon Bolivar, Foreign Mercenaries and the Birth of New Nations (Liverpool University Press - Liverpool Latin American Studie) (2):
TheSuspect
This is an excellent publication in terms of scholarly research. It is not a book one should sit down with and expect to read for pleasure (unless you're a professor of Latin American studies). Being interested in South American history, I tried. Hard. But I gave up after reading the analysis of how many mercenaries came from each county in Ireland. Too much detail for the casual reader.

This book is NOT what the author told me it would be. I was actively misled. Purchased under false pretences!
