Mission Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 Try this link. Be aware that Gosse doesn't site his sources for his book, so you can't completely trust the material to be 100% factual. For example, he lists the the Cobhams as being real; their background info is rather dubious from my research. Still, I'd say it contains fewer inaccuracies from my experience than some of the wild entries in Rogozinski's Pirates A-Z, An Encyclopedia (see his imaginative entry on pirate homosexuality for a sampling). Although, in his defense, Rogozinski does try to cover a lot more ground. (And he says that the Cobhams are fictional fluff from a 1920's Canadian tourism brochure.) Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
