Buccaneers and Pirates of Our Coasts

"Buccaneers and Pirates of Our Coasts" by Frank Richard Stockton isn't just a pirate book, it's an essential part of American trade history. Pirates have always been feared, but few would guess that these bandits of the sea would be able to use cunning and wit to somehow not only evade the law, but even enter into trade agreements with the United States. This high-seas adventure is a romp of a tale that captures the excitement of pirating and the romance of the sea.
