Captain Charles Johnson's General History of Pirates was one of the
best-selling books of 1724, when it was first published. It
provides a sweeping account of what has come to be called the
Golden Age of Piracy. It went through four editions in two years,
and without doubt owed a substantial part of its success to a
dramatic writing style that vividly captures the realities of
pirates' savage existence. The book contains documentary evidence
of events during the lives of its subjects. In the 270 years since
its original publication, Johnson's work has come to be regarded as
the classic study of one of the most popular subjects in maritime
history.
