O knihe
"The extraordinary career of Captain Kidd, a New-York merchant, the demoniac feats of those fiends in human form, Bonnet, Barthelemy, and Lolonois; the romantic history of the innocent female pirate Mary Read, and of the termagant Anne Bonney; the amazing career of Sir Henry Morgan, and the fanaticism of Montbar, scarcely surpassed by that of Mohammed or Loyola, combine in creating a story, which the imagination of Dickens or Dumas could scarcely rival." -John S.C. Abbott, Preface, 1874

Captain William Kidd (1655-1701) was a British sailor who fought for Great Britain against the French in the West Indies, became a shipowner in New York and turned to piracy and who was tried and became one of the most colorful pirates of all time.
