SIR WALTER RALFICH
Sir-Henry Ford well said that history was bunk. The recent BBC school radio series The Pioneers is in the great journalistic traditional view of the Elizabethan Era. Sir Walter Raleigh is made to declare that his settlement in the New World is inspired by thirst for
glory, promotion of trade and bringing the word of God to Indians-in that order. Now Raleigh was the best of the somewhat disreputable band of pirates and slavers who provoked (and subsequently defeated) the Armada. But it is astonishing to find his motives so misrepresented; for he declared them himself and in vrint. What he wanted was
money.
