About this ebook
Kidd, Blackbeard, Morgan, Avery and the rest, told from the trial records and the colonial archives by a New England historian. John S. C. Abbott wrote dozens of popular histories and here works close to the documents, including Kidd's own petitions.

Turner and Winslow Homer, give the pirates' element its proper weather.
