Description: Dust jacket shows some wear and chipping along the edges; this book is probably the best pirate book ever written. It is certainly the source from which all other writers about pirates have had to draw. This is an unabridged reprint from the original, with all its wealth of a picturesque, if sanguinary, detail unspoiled. The lives of thirty-four pirates, including two women, are set down; among them are to be found such rascals as Avery, Teach, Roberts, Kidd, Low, and Tew.
Price: $25.00
