Captain Hornigold and the Pirate Republic
Martin Frey, author
"Captain Hornigold and the Pirate Republic" carefully follows Benjamin Hornigold from the time he leaves Port Royal,Jamaica, in 1713 and sails to Nassau, New Providence Island, Bahamas, to begin his career as a pirate, until he accepts King George's offer for a pardon in 1718 and becomes a pirate hunter. During this period, Hornigold becomes the leader of the non-Jacobite pirates and sails in consort with Bloackbeard (Edward Thache), Black Sam Bellamy and his partner Paulsgrave Williams, Major Stede Bonnet, Captain Napping, and the French Pirate Olivier LeVasseur. Hownigold works with Woodes Rogers, the new governor of the Bahamas, and copes with his Jacobite-sympathizing nemeses, Henry Jennings and Charles Vane.
