A Pirate of the Caribbees

by Richard Philbrick

Overview

A book for anyone who loves stories of pirates and nautical fiction. Published over 100 years ago the story remains alive and vivid but filled with such archaic and overblown (by today's tastes) writing such as:

"For pity's sake," I ejaculated, "give me something to drink!"

"Ten thousand pounds?" I ejaculated.
"Thanks," answered I, with alacrity.

Under the hands of Richard S. Philbrick the book has been extensively edited and rewritten to read like a novel of the 21st century.

About the Author

Raised on Cape Cod. Lived in New Orleans for 10 years and left long before Katrina. Worked as a newspaper reporter, magazine editor, hospital public relations director and freelance writer before chucking it all and following my bliss which was to work on boats. Became a Coast Guard Licensed captain and worked for 20 years running yachts and small commercial craft including a three year stint as captain of a large sailboat on the French Riviera and sailing across the big pond in '91.

In my own small sailboat I single-handed from Fort Lauderdale to Mexico, Belize and the Rio Dulce in Guatemala and back.
