Originally published in 1724--and now with an introduction and
commentary by David Cordingly, best-selling author of the pirate
classic "Under the Black Flag--"this famous account of the most
notorious pirates of the day was an immediate success. Written by
the mysterious Captain Johnson, it appeared in the book world at a
time since described as the "Golden Age of Piracy" and vividly
captures the realities of the savage seafaring existence--detailing
specific events, including trials, of the day's most feared
pirates. Indeed, this book has become the main source for scholars
seeking to learn more about the female pirates Mary Read and Anne
Bonny, and was largely responsible for the posthumous fame of
Blackbeard and Captain Kidd. In the 270 years since its first
publication, it has come to be generally regarded as the classic
study of one of the most popular subjects in maritime history.
