If you don't laugh out loud at least once in each of these stories, there's something wrong with you. Deeply felt and very wise, these stories still manage to be sidesplittingly funny.

Written in the late 19th century, Stockton's "Buccaneers and Pirates of our Coast" is a thoroughly enjoyable read and the perfect introduction into piracy for young people. Broken down into short, easily digestable chapters, this book offers brief yet interesting glimpses of some of history's most infamous pirates without the gore and debauchery seen in more adult themed volumes. Stede Bonnet, Richard Worley, Captain Kidd and Blackbeard are all here and truth is indeed stranger than fiction. A fascinating and engrossing journey back to the Golden Age of Piracy.

This book is a gem. Frank details how nationalism in the marketplace has been bought, sold and manipulated by interested parties over the course of American history. Yet her approach is even-handed, thought-provoking, and most importantly, solidly written with a stlye you just can't put down. Her facts are meticulously referenced, and her storytelling entertaining. I highly recommend the text. Get it from the library if need be!
