A British Privateer in the American Revolution (Expanded, Annotated)

by Henry R. Howland

Overview

First published in 1902, these letters from a British privateer had lain undiscovered in a chest for a century. They tell the tale of the privateer "Vengeance" during the American Revolution.

Privateers were essentially legal pirates, given papers that allowed them to plunder merchant ships during wartime. The daring and humor exhibited by the correspondent of the letters is highly entertaining. The ultimate fate of the "Vengeance" has never been discovered.

For less than you'd spend on gas going to the library, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.
