Buccaneers and Pirates of Our Coast 



By FRANK R. STOCKTON 



This book is an account with efforts to sift falsifying legend and 

 preserve the truth of the offshoots of the early English, French, 

 and Dutch combinations against Spanish exactions in West India 

 waters. From the early buccaneer with a legitimate purpose came 

 the pirate whose greed of booty was for private gain. Mr. Stockton 

 has told wild stories of picturesque figures among both types of 

 leaders, and his characteristic quaint turns of humor set them off 

 entertainingly. Illustrated by G. VARIAN and B. W. CLINEDINST.
