The settling of America's "Wild" West is tame when compared to the tumultuous history of the 16th- through 18th- century Caribbean. From Anegada to Little Tobago, life in the roughly two dozen British Virgin Islands was complicated by overlapping land claims; piracy, and lawlessness. Join Bart Jackson as he spins tales, and tries to make some sense out of this amazing corner of history.
Entrepreneur, writer and popular public speaker, Bart Jackson has published a dozen books ranging from The Art of the CEO and Behind Every Successful Woman is Herself, to The Garden State Wineries Guide. Bart has made a journalistic career of roaming the far corners of the world in search of fascinating people and places in order to share their stories. He and his wife, Lorraine, reside in Cranbury, NJ.
The talk will be held at the Center for Modern Aging - Princeton, 101 Poor Farm Road, Princeton NJ, on Sunday, November 17th at 3:00 p.m. Admission is free, and refreshments will be served following the talk.
