Abbot John S.C. Captain William Kidd and Others of the Buccaneers

New York: Dodd, Mead and Company Publishers, 1874. — 373 p.There can scarcely anything be found in the literature of our language, more wild and wonderful, than the narrative contained in this volume. The
extraordinary career of Captain Kidd, a New York merchant, the demoniac feats of those fiends in human form, Bonnet, Barthelemy, and Lolonois;
the romantic history of the innocent female pirate Mary Read, and of the termagant Anne Bonney; the amazing career of Sir Henry Morgan, and the
fanaticism of Montbar, scarcely surpassed by that of Mohammed or Loyola, combine in creating a story, which the imagination of Dickens or Dumas
could scarcely rival.
