John Paul Jones BLACK BEARD Captain Morgan Calico Jack
“The Lives and Exploits of the Most Notorious Pirates and Their Crews,”
is a riveting anthology of pirate stories and biographies. Anonymously penned
under the pseudonym, “A Sea Captain,” the author offers a treasure trove of 35
tales featuring the legendary Black Beard, the intrepid Sir Henry Morgan, the
infamous Calico Jack, and an intriguing perspective on Captain John Paul Jones
who, despite his heroism in the American Revolutionary War, was denigrated as a
pirate in many British accounts. This volume sails through piracy’s tumultuous
history, presenting a narrative as rare and captivating as the outlaws it
chronicles.
