Description
Freebooters of the Red Sea, Pirates, politicians and pieces of eight
Hamilton Cochran
A fascinating parade of historical characters: the rascally Governor Benjamin Fletcher, his honest successor Lord Bellomont, the mutinous Captain John Avery, the flamboyant Captain Mission, Stephen DeLancey who secretly subsidized pirates, pious Quakers and an Anglican rector who stole a fortune in gold coins.
