Over 2 lbs, with 614 pages of text, tables, and graphs! Do you know who Blackbeard the Pirate was? Probably not! Born into a substantial family in Bristol, the eldest son of Capt. Edward and Elizabeth Thache sailed for Jamaica with his family sometime before 1695. Capt. Edward Thache of St. Jago de la Vega or Spanish Town died there at age 47 while his son, Edward Blackbeard Thache Jr. joined the Royal Navy and fought in Queen Anne's War aboard HMS Windsor. Thache resembled more a Robber Baron of the early 20th century than a poor downtrodden member of Benjamin Hornigold's Flying Gang in the Bahamas - or even his pupil. Capt. Charles Johnson's A General History of the Pyrates is a flawed historical work and much of what we have previously known about Blackbeard is simply not true. This progressive book attempts to rediscover exactly who Blackbeard really was and how he related to his maritime American Pirate Nation! Quite a few surprises are in store!
