The Pirate Hunter The True Story of Captain Kidd by Richard Zacks pieces together the never-before told story of Kidd vs Culliford, of of pirate hunter and pirate. Culliford climbed from Caribbean cabin boy to pirate captain, once capturing a ship in the Indian Ocean loaded with gold. Captain Kidd was a tough successful New York sea captain who was hired to chase pirates. In 1696 he set out on a near-impossible mission to travel 4,000 miles and track down die-before-surrender pirates and bring their treasure to the governor of New York and other secret backers. His odyssey pitted him against arrogant Royal Navy commanders, East India Company captains, storms, starvation, and more. This was the era of tall-masted sailing ships and lords in wigs. This is a pirate story for grown ups.
