Inhaltsangabe

With a fascinating introduction that provides historical context for the book, this rendition of novelist Daniel Defoe's historical account details the life of John Gow, the notorious 18th-century pirate who ransacked the waves. Leaving home at an early age to sail the seas, Gow overthrew the crew of the ship Caroline, which propelled him to the rank of Captain. He exploited French, Spanish, and Portuguese ships, establishing himself as an infamous seaman adept at evading authorities at sea and ashore. Perfect for any collector of fiction or for those interested in piracy and maritime history, this adventurous tale is a faithful, unedited reproduction of Defoe's original.
