Twenty Florida Pirates
Autor Kevin M. McCarthy Ilustrat de William L. Trotteren Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 sep 1994
It is certainly more enjoyable and safer to read about pirates than to encounter one. This book chronicles the lives and times of 20 notable Florida pirates, from the English privateers of the 1500s to present-day drug smugglers and yachtjackers. Pirates have always found easy prey in the seas around Florida; not only did the treasure-laden ships on their way back to Europe have to sail close to Florida s shores to catch the currents east, but the treacherous Florida Reef foundered many a ship, making easy pickings.
Most of what we know about pirates comes from Navy records, newspaper accounts, or eyewitness statements from those whom the pirates spared. This book distills the most interesting facts from many sources into a book that will be enjoyed by anyone interested in a different perspective on Florida s history."
