The Republic of Pirates--#63 finished

 This is a book of non-fiction which looked at the Caribbean pirates of the late 1600s and into the 1700s.  A really interesting read.  It is sort of amazing the amount of research done to be able to put together a book like this. Being about to research the lives and follow who was doing what during this time of basically chaos that ruled the seas of this area.  Growing up in midwest with ocean hours & hours away, I probably don't appreciate what it takes so sail boats especially back then when it was all wind and sails and maybe some people on the oars.  An interesting time and an interesting read.

I have had this book for years on my shelf and just now finally got around to reading it.  There are still 4 WL for this book in PBS but might set aside and see if this is one my friends might want to read.
