This edition present the history of the period in which the piracy was at its pick in the Caribbean Sea. The entire regions and islands were under their control and rule, at the extent that they subsequently proclaimed Nassau as the seat of the pirate republic. Authors' goal was to show the democracy pirates established, the rules by which they lived and died, their courage and ruthlessness, their most extraordinary exploits and battles. The lives of the most famous pirates of this era are depicted in the book: Charles Vane, Thomas Barrow (who declared himself "Governor of New Providence"), Benjamin Hornigold, Calico Jack Rackham, Anne Bonny, Mary Read, and the infamous Edward Teach, better known as "Blackbeard".Contents:The King of Pirates: Of Captain Avery, And his CrewOf Captain Martel, And his CrewOf Captain Teach, alias Black-beardOf Major Stede Bonnet, And his CrewOf Captain Edward England, And his CrewOf Captain Charles Vane, And his CrewOf Captain John Rackham, And his CrewThe Life of Mary Read, And Anne BonnyOf Captain Howel Davis, And his CrewOf Captain Bartho.
