Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Capt. William Kidd, reviled as a bloodthirsty pirate, was a Scottish-born minister’s son who may actually have been innocent of piracy but was certainly hanged for it. Based on official admiralty records, this fascinating volume offers an astonishing glimpse into the world of 17th-century piracy, the workings of the English judicial system, and the actual dialogue and day-to-day realities of a riveting murder trial.
