The definitive collection of biographies of 18th Century Pyrates (now spelled with an "i" as "pirates"). A General History of the Pyrates, perhaps more than any other, shaped the popular conception of pirates. The book introduced the public to concepts such as the Jolly Roger pirate flag and embellished larger-than-life details of pirates. A treasure from the "Golden Age of Pirates," the book influenced generations and authors, including Robert Lewis Stevenson (Treasure Island) and J.M. Barrie (Peter Pan).
The true author of the work remains a mystery to this day, as Captain Charles Johnson is thought to be a pseudonym.
