Trail of a Bold Buccaneer Revealed in Caracas Episode
The narrative recounts Amory Preston's 1595 assault on Caracas via a secret mountain path from La Guayra led by a traitor who is hanged before the city. Mr Pickard and locals trek the same route, photograph smugglers, and reach a view of Caracas two thousand feet below, imagining Preston's first sight of the city.
