Frank Richard Stockton 
Buccaneers and Pirates of Our Coasts 

Published in 1898 by The Macmillan Company and written by Frank R. Stockton, Buccaneers and Pirates of Our Coast was written to appeal to and acquaint children with history and the seafaring life in time gone by. Although it is predominantly factual, the life and times of the sea rovers of the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic coast was also shrouded in a mist of fable. The book gives a chronological and comprehensive history of both men and women that took to a life as highwaymen and women of the sea. You will be sure to find it interesting, clear and comprehensible, shedding light on a time long past and filled with the dash and daring you would and should expect.
