Calli and Beak observed and fought the revolutionary war because they were pirates that the continental congress hired. They participated in a number of skirmishes with the British and made a large impact in the war of 1812 and the Texas rebellion. Through their bravery and persistence, they helped in the struggles for survival in the early years of this county. They observed many instances of brutality, especially the massacre in Goliad, which made them more determined to continue the fight. They sailed the pirate ship, Pelican, but later sold it, because they wanted a more gentle life. Moving from a life on the sea to one of exploration and fighting on land was almost more than they could endure. Santa Ana was an elusive opponent and agile enough to avoid capture until the Texans overwhelmed the Mexican army. Calli and his ragtag band of Americans found him and turned him over to General Sam Houston. The story is seen through the eyes of the two pirates and in many cases the historical perspective is shown and comes to life as they enter the scene of many conflicts. Through their efforts and unselfish acts of many others, this nation was born and survived.
