The Carolinas is loaded with all kinds of pirate history. Ah ! Thank ya ! I live in North Carolina, near Salisbury. about a 4hour drive from the coast. I go stay in a beach house at Holden Beach every summer, just got back last week. I just odered the book " The Last Days of Black Beard the Pirate" by North Carolina author Kevin P. Duffus, he claims in his book that Teach wasn't Blackbeards last name, he believes it was Beard, and that he was born in the Carolina's and not England. he spent so may years researching genealogical records and taking with historians, I believes he's on to something, he's say's alot of the things we know about Blackbeard today was made up years after the Golden age of Pirates, and people believed them. Here's his website if you want to order the book: www.thelostlight.com Wales Produced more Pirates per mile of coastline than any other European country. Dafydd Meirion, author of "Welsh Pirates"

TheBlackFox Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 'tis a great book with very much documented research behind it. I'm reading it for the second time and spent an hour or two with the author down in Hampton at The Blackbeard Festival. He's a great guy and easy to talk to. . . if you get the chance to see him at a booksigning. . .take it!

Yea, I happen to find out about the book while looking for any decendents of Blackbeard on the web and came onto his book, glad I found it, I just order me a copy this past Friday, should get it this week, by what you said, it sounds like great reading, I would love to meet the author one day, he lives in Raleigh, N.C., which is about a 2 hour drive from me. According to his website, he's making a DVD about the book, should be a great DVD to get also when it comes out. Wales Produced more Pirates per mile of coastline than any other European country.
