[Lance Carney · Rating 3 out of 5]

Research for my current book. Extremely detailed from long before I was born, although recently I have felt that old. But I digress (even if I can no longer digest). Interesting chapters on Captain Kidd. And the sad, or exciting part, depending on where you stand--it was written in 1911 and the treasures which are "sought to this day", are likely still being sought. Dream on you crazy treasure pirates, dream on.
