Nathaniel’s Nutmeg by Giles Milton

October 27, 2021 By P Commane

The tiny island of Run is an insignificant speck in the middle of the Indonesian ocean. .At the beginning of the seventeenth century  however, Run’s harvest of nutmeg turned it into the most lucrative of the Spice Islands.

This caused a fierce and bloody battle between the all-powerful Dutch East India Company and a small band of ragtag British adventurers led by the intrepid Nathaniel Courthope.

The outcome of the fighting was one of the most spectacular deals in history.  Britain ceded Run to Holland, but in return was given another small island, Manhattan.

A brilliant adventure story of unthinkable hardship.

Nathaniel’s Nutmeg is a remarkable chapter in the history of the colonial powers.  A great adventure story that sheds a remarkable light on the history of the 17th Century.
