Pirates! This word evokes so many vivid imaginations! Bearded ruffians downed rum under the skull and crossbones flag, while prisoners were blindfolded and led to the gallows. Parrots parroted, shouting about "treasure" and "revenge." Even sillier is the cartoonish image of pirates with hooks for arms, whose plans always backfired, even against children. Then there were the handsome, heroic pirates who sailed the seas in search of adventure and justice. This book will explore many novel and interesting facts. It will verify whether "Blackbeard" was truly as evil as, and reveal how filmmakers and storytellers mixed fact with fiction about pirates, a blend that is sure to disturb the resting place of Sir Francis Drake at sea!
