The Pirate Hunter : The True Story of Captain Kidd
Mention the name of Captain Kidd, and you can't help thinking of buried
treasure, bloodthirsty tales of plunder, and general maritime mayhem. There
was a real Captain Kidd, and he did sail among the pirates, but we all have the
wrong idea about him, according to Richard Zacks, whose _The Pirate Hunter:
The True Story of Captain Kidd_ (Theia / Hyperion) sets the record straight.
William Kidd was a master mariner who lived in New York, on Wall Street, no
less, at the end of the seventeenth century. He had a wife and daughter.
"He was no career cutthroat, no cartoon Blackbeard, terrifying his prey by
putting flaming matches in his hair." Kidd was a respectable sea captain, who
had enormously bad luck in his endeavors to hunt pirates for profit. Kidd was no pirate, but a privateer, recruited by powerful Lords and merchants to rob from the pirates that had robbed from the merchants.
