A Classic Pirate Tale, Though An Unsuspecting One
If you happened to be looking for a tale of mutiny, pirates, Manhattan Island, life at sea, and general sailor debauchery, then look no further. In honor of Talk Like A Pirate Day today, run, don't walk to your nearest book outlet and purchase The Pirate Hunter. It is the true story of pirate hunter William Kidd who somehow became one of the most famous pirates! Does that make sense? A must read for history majors, pirate fanaticoes, and for those who ever dreamed that life at sea was romantic.

Richard Zacks spares no detail yet weaves a fantastic story into the fascinating tale of one of the worst tragedies to sail into American History. A more recent Zacks work is The Pirate Coast which I have not read, yet. But I guarantee you it is worth a zap on my PayPal account.
