| Summary |
Written by an actual buccaneer, this fascinating book tells the true story of some of the most important raids committed by English and French pirates against the settlements of the West Indies. Aided by a slew of eyewitness engravings, the stories herein tell the unparalleled exploits of the famous pirate Henry Morgan, who sacked Porto Bello and burned the colony of Panama. The book’s pirate author warns that “pieces-of-eight do not grow on every tree,” but nevertheless his tales of plunder and piracy are an entertaining look into a forgotten world. |
