Description
From the corsairs of the Barbary Coast to Blackbeard to Jean Lafitte, pirates have been a part of every culture for centuries. Sometimes terrifying but always colourful characters, their history is as rich with controversy as it is with gold dubloons! With each passing decade, the legends surrounding pirates have grown to epic proportion, right down to their peglegs and buried treasure. "The Everything[registered] Pirate Book" follows their historic travails from ancient times to their Golden Age to the modern day search for buried treasure, and reveals the truth behind the Hollywood type.
