Download or read book Pirates of the Chesapeake Bay written by Jamie L.H. Goodall and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-24 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An epic history of piracy . . . Goodall explores the role of these legendary rebels and describes the fine line between piracy and privateering.” —WYPR The story of Chesapeake pirates and patriots begins with a land dispute and ends with the untimely death of an oyster dredger at the hands of the Maryland Oyster Navy. From the golden age of piracy to Confederate privateers and oyster pirates, the maritime communities of the Chesapeake Bay are intimately tied to a fascinating history of intrigue, plunder and illicit commerce raiding. Author Jamie L.H. Goodall introduces infamous men like Edward “Blackbeard” Teach and “Black Sam” Bellamy, as well as lesser-known local figures like Gus Price and Berkeley Muse, whose tales of piracy are legendary from the harbor of Baltimore to the shores of Cape Charles. “Rather than an unchanging monolith, Goodall creates a narrative filled with dynamic movement and exchange between the characters, setting, conflict, and resolution of her story. Goodall positioned this narrative to be successful on different levels.” —International Social Science Review

Download or read book Pirates on the Chesapeake written by Donald G. Shomette and published by Cornell Maritime Press/Tidewater Publishers. This book was released on 2009-07-15 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dazzling array of swashbuckling pirates, picaroons, and sea rovers are pitted against the often feckless representatives of an outpost government authority in the Chesapeake Bay region. It is an exciting and dramatic two hundred-year history that begins grimly with the "starving time" in the Virginia colony in 1609, and ends with the peaceful resolution of the Othello affair with the French in 1807. In between lies a full panoply of violent and bizarre buccaneering incidents that one is hard pressed to imagine from the vantage point of the twenty-first century. Documented by impressive research in articles of the Netherlands, England, and the United States, Shomette skillfully reconstructs these episodes and many others, including the intensive anti-pirate cruise to capture--dead or alive--the notorious Blackbeard. The anti-pirate cruises led to the roundup of dozens of pirates and some showy executions but did little to curb the continued terrorist activities of bandits like Roger Makeele, Stede Bonnet, and Joseph Wheland.

Download or read book Gumbi vs The World written by Dot Gumbi and published by Dot Gumbi. This book was released on 2015-04-05 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone has a funny holiday story, and I don’t think mine are any weirder than anybody else’s. I mean, everyone has had a holiday that involved hospitals, monsters, movie stars and the biggest ball of twine on the planet, right? Gumbi vs The World follows two ‘relaxing’ holidays I took in 2006. The first found me hospitalized on New Year's Eve having travelled across Poland with a thirteen year old self confessed 'gangsta' and Bee Gees fan. The second trip, six months later, found me travelling across America trying to hunt down Mike Schank, star of the Sundance award winning documentary American Movie, before being hospitalized in Hollywood. If that wasn't enough there was also a hunt for the Hodag (a mythical beast from Rhinelander, Wisconsin) and a meeting with the biggest ball of twine in the world, and its creator. And on top of all that there were the usual problems like lost luggage, language barriers and work believing I was dead.
