Captain Kidd The Hunt for the Truth Author:Craig Cabell Language:English Format:Hardcover Dimensions:6" x 9.25" Pages:176 Photos:20 illustrations Publisher:Pen and Sword ISBN:97818 44159611 Item No. 9781844159611 The execution of Captain William Kidd on 23 May 1701 is one of the most controversial and revealing episodes in the long history of piracy. The legend that has grown up around Kidd’s final voyage, his concealed treasure and the dubious conduct of his trial, has made him into one of the most intriguing and misunderstood figures from the golden age of piracy. For either Kidd was a legal privateer or he was a wicked pirate – indeed he has been described as one of the most feared pirates to sail the high seas. But his story is complex and ambiguous. This timely new account of Kidd’s life and seafaring career reassesses the man and his legend – it makes compelling reading. Show more
