The year of Blackbeard’s death is part of a historical era commonly known as the Colonial period. Asserting the year is part of a historical era properly called the Golden Age of Privateering and Piracy, Butler reinforces this by profiling individuals from both groups.
Abstract:
When it comes to Blackbeard, Moore’s examination of documents compiled over the centuries reveal the task of truth-finding’s complexity. This comes from the lure of the myth as much as the mixture of facts and falsehoods since 1716, the date of the earliest known source mentioning Captain Edward Thatch.
Abstract:
A tale many times told is likely to cite Queen Anne’s Revenge as the ship’s name, less so to note its French origins. Kenney-Watkins adds another layer of truth to the tale by including its relatively unknown African history in her discussion of conservation efforts begun in 1996.
