The Epic History of America's Most Notorious Pirates

Eric Jay Dolin, New York Times bestselling author of "Black Flags Blue Waters: The Epic History of America's Most Notorious Pirates." Set against the backdrop of the Age of Exploration, "Black Flags, Blue Waters" reveals the dramatic and surprising history of American piracy’s “Golden Age”―spanning the late 1600s through the early 1700s―when lawless pirates plied the coastal waters of North America and beyond. Dolin illustrates how American colonists at first supported these outrageous pirates in an early display of solidarity against the Crown, and then violently opposed them. Through engrossing episodes of roguish glamour and extreme brutality, he depicts the star pirates of this period, among them towering Blackbeard, ill-fated Captain Kidd, and sadistic Edward Low, who delighted in torturing his prey. Upending popular misconceptions and cartoonish stereotypes, Dolin cuts through the mythology of pirates to reveal the truth about their despicable deeds. 🔔Subscribe, like, and hit the bell for more American history! 📚Get a copy of the book here: https://amzn.to/3woqHb7 🤝Support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/AmericanHistoryGazette?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink 📌Connect with American History Gazette on social media: https://linktr.ee/americanhistorygazette
