Abstract:
Possibly the only survivor of Edward Moseley's vast private library, a lone volume entitled \"Treatise of Husbandry and Gardening\" is housed in the North Carolina Collection at the University of North Carolina Library. Edward Moseley's original collection contained seventy-four books, the majority in Greek or Latin, all of a type that appealed to those of a higher education. The solitary book of this early book collector came to the North Carolina Collection through the Stephen B. Weeks Collection of Caroliniana purchased in 1918 by a special appropriation of the Board of Trustees of the University.

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.
