Real Pirates

pirates.jpgPirates of the Caribbean movies have become so popular. I have always been interested in the actual lives of pirates. There is a book I want to read called The Republic of Pirates. Amazon describes the book as being the true and surprising story of the Caribbean pirates and the man who brought them down.  I bought the book before I had heard anything about it at the airport in Norfolk on my way home for my bro’s graduation.  I was surprised to see it on a must read list while lying on the beach at Kill Devil Hills reading a magazine.
