Written for young readers by the author of The Lady, or the Tiger?, these chapters tell the true stories of the buccaneers who raided Spanish towns in the West Indies and the pirates who later haunted the American seaboard. Among them are Henry Morgan, the daring Frenchman called Peter the Great, Blackbeard, Captain Kidd and a pearl pirate.

Stockton’s wry storytelling makes the history of piracy a pleasure for young and old readers alike. Download the free EPUB.
