The waters, inlets and coves surrounding Florida’s coasts have been
the refuge of infamous pirates for centuries. From pillaging Spanish
galleons carrying
gold to Civil War blockade runners disrupting supply lines, the pirates
of Florida were once feared and respected. Navigating tempestuous waters
from Fort
Myers down to Sanibel and Captiva Islands, south to Naples and east to
the coveted Keys, these pirates and privateers embodied freedom and
adventure. They
secured their places in history while fighting the likes of presidents,
armadas and international powers. Authors James and Sarah Kaserman
recount the
swashbuckling tales of Black Caesar, Anne Bonny, “Calico Jack” Rackham
and even the legend of Gasparilla. Brimming with historical facts and
local myths,
Florida Pirates offers the definitive guide to the scoundrels who
plundered the Sunshine State’s warm coasts throughout history and to the
present day.
