Sam Flint Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Hey I'm going to be picking up a copy of Under the Black Flag for an upcoming trip I'm taking. This is my first real read on all things Pirate that is not 100% fiction. I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions on what would be a good read once I'm done with this one. Thanks Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackjohn Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Anything by Rediker. http://www.marcusrediker.com/Books/Villain...of_Villains.htm And A Pirate of Exquisite Mind : Explorer, Naturalist, and Buccaneer: The Life of William Dampier is pretty good. My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Flint Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 Thanks I'll look into those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackjohn Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Doh! I should have asked, have you read any of the classics? Captain Johnson's General History of... the Pirates? Exquemelin's Buccaneers of America? My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshuaRed Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Yes, followed immediately by Dampier's collected works. And DEFINITELY Rediker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadeye Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 one of my favorites is The History of Pirates by Angus Konstam, it has great info, a forward by David Cordingly, and hundreds of color illustration. Makes a great coffee table book as well. Not to Step on GoF's toes or anything, but you could always looks here, on his web site. - 10 Fathoms Deep on the Road to Hell... Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
