ABOUT
Fascinating study of the pirates of the 17th and 18th centuries examines the lives and deeds of Henry Morgan, Captain Kidd, Blackbeard, Anne Bonney, and others, finding the lore about these maritime marauders largely overblown.
While history has painted most pirates as "abominable brutes," capable of the worst cruelties, the author of this fascinating study insists that pirates have suffered more than their share of bad press. He notes, for example, that Henry Morgan always carried privateering commissions signed by the governor of Jamaica, and that many pirates bought commissions (and pardons) from governors of the American colonies.
Includes monochrome fine line illustrations.
