Abstract:
Blackbeard was the most famous of all the pirates during the Golden Age of Piracy, which lasted from the late 17th-century into the early 18-century. He raided ships and towns from the Caribbean to the coasts of Virginia and the Carolinas, and his personal appearance inspired terror in those he confronted. He was killed near Ocracoke in 1718 by sailors of the King's navy.

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.
