Great Pirate Stories

Description

Piracy characterizes the love affair of the ocean at its greatest manifestation. It is a lonesome but foreseeable remark on our society, that, as long as the ocean is involved, it has matured from its birth down to a hundred years or long before, under a single level or other kinds of buccaneering. If men were sadists on land they were way much more than at the ocean, and all the times of naval feat, times that supplied to the atlas of the universe until there was a few left to unearth, might not totally wipe out the piratical plague.

This comprises: The Piccaroon; The Capture of Panama, 1671; The Malay Proas; The Wonderful Fight of the Exchange of Bristol with the Pirates of Algiers; The Daughter of the Great Mogul; Barbarossa—King of the Corsairs; Morgan at Puerto Bello; The Ways of the Buccaneers; A True Account of Three Notorious Pirates; Narrative of the Capture of the Ship Derby, 1735; Francis Lolonois, the Slave Who Became a Pirate King; The Fight between the Dorrill and the Moca; Jaddi the Malay Pirate; The Terrible Ladrones; The Female Captive; The Passing of Mogul Mackenzie, the last of the North Atlantic Pirates; and The Last of the Sea-Rovers: The Riff Coast Pirates.

Joseph Lewis French was an author, editor, poet and periodical man. The New York Times commented in 1925 that he might be “the most industrious anthologist of his time.” He is famous for his remarkable themed compilations, and issued more than 25 novels from 1918 up to his last in 1936. He formed two publications, The New West (c. 1887) and The Wave (c. 1890). Then he thrived for publications “across the country” writing poetry and essays. He underwent monetary problems, and in 1927 the New York Graphic, a regular newspaper, printed an autobiographical paper they persuaded him to pen, with the title “I’m Starving – Yet I’m in Who’s Who as the Author of 27 Famous Books.”
