Check out story about Cdn/Am river pirate Bill Johnston at http://bit.ly/cKKa7q. He was the real deal, and a rebel and privateer too. Cheers mates.

Hello mates, I've just joined pyracy.com after finding it through a Google Search for Bill Johnston info. A fascinating fellow, he's the only real St. Lawrence River pirate. I've spent several days the last two summers in my kayak trying to locate (with success) some of his old hideouts. I have compiled extensive biographical material on Pirate Bill as part of a historical fiction novel I'm writing. I'm posting that material, plus related info, on a new history blog. Check out http://www.raidersandrebels.com if you have a moment. Cheers
