Matusalem Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Pirates of the New England Coast 1630-1730: Same pirates, Kidd, Tew, Quelch, Lowther, Low, Bellamy, etc....just one big happy family, that ol' brethren, they all know each other. This is the book I'm reading now. Some passages from Captain Charles Johnson. This is the re-print of George Francis Dow book of 1922. Most of it from Boston and Newport newspapers. Much of it goes beyond New England, which is the Caribbean and Africa. Some period illustrations. my favorite chapter is Philip Ashton's personal account of being captured by pirate Ned Low, and then being marooned on an island off Honduras in 1722.
