Blackbeard & the Carolina Pirates

The first of the book is dedicated to the history of Blackbeard. It includes familar and mostly "known" facts and tid bits about the man. It also includes a small number of discrepancies in historical details I recall. This is a small portion of the book and seems to be written with a local (Hampton Roads) flair. The majority of the book is about many of the pirates raiding along the coasts of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. It is pages from another author having lived closer in time to the days of piracy. It consists of politics, daily life, and the rise and fall of piracy in the time of coloial life.
