Not all pirates are as infamous as Blackbeard. Their stories, however, are no less compelling. 'The Whydah Pirates Speak' is a collection of true pirate stories, told in a series of factual, non-fiction articles based on information from primary resources. These stories are about the men who sailed with Sam Bellamy and Olivier Levasseur on, or in consort with the Whydah and terrorized the seas as pirates. Some joined by choice. Some by force. Most would not survive the experience. Read the transcript of a real trial for piracy in 1717. Examine the conversations of Rev. Cotton Mather with the condemned as they were led to the gallows. All articles, previously published separately, are now brought together into one source of information for research, knowledge, and entertainment. You won't find Jack Sparrow here. Rather, you will learn about life as a real pirate during the Golden Age of Piracy. Take a journey with me and discover how a trip to the museum one Saturday afternoon grew into a new obsession and calling to research and write about the real pirates of the Whydah Galley.
