- Cup of Gold (novel)
"Cup of Gold: A life of Sir Henry Morgan, Buccaneer, with Occasional Reference to History", 1929 (historical fiction), was John Steinbeck's first novel, loosely based on the privateer Henry Morgan's life and death. It centres on Morgan's assault and sacking of the city of Panama, sometimes referred to as the 'Cup of Gold', and the woman fairer than the sun reputed to be found there.
Steinbeck wrote "Cup of Gold" for the film business.
