Steve Barber 
Gaspar 
The Last of the Buccaneers

As the eighteenth century draws to a close, a mystic figure appears on the timeline of history whose presence is even felt today. Some call him a pirate sailing under the black flag of death. Others call him a ghosta figment of the imagination. To those who know him, however, he is just an ordinary man who comes full circle in life. He comes to realize that lifes greatest treasures are the simple pleasures and the God-given blessings that are regularly bestowed upon the children of God. He sails the west coast of Florida during some the most turbulent times, and he aids a young nation during the political unrest of 1812. Through love, political intrigue, and adventures at sea, Jos Gaspar becomes the last of the buccaneers.
