Description
Gibraltar – it once marked the edge of the world. From it you can see both Europe and Africa; the Atlantic and The Mediterranean. It’s fortifications have been contested for centuries. “You are standing on the very top of one of the Pillars of Hercules, the ancient Calpe, and in full view of the other, on the African coast, where, above the present town of Ceuta, whose white walls glisten in the sun, rises the ancient Abyla, the Mount of God. These are the two Pillars which to the ancient navigators set bounds to the habitable world.” Also covered is the unsuccessful Siege of Gibraltar of 1782, by the Spanish and the French. Much attention is paid to the issue of whether Gibraltar should be Spanish or English. Today, Gibraltar remains a British Protectorate. This Illustrated eBook edition of the 1888 original has been carefully edited for scanning and spelling errors, and is as true to the original as possible. [EDB Pubs]
