MARAUDERS OF THE SEA

Here's a worthy successor -- or competitor -- to Howard Pyle's classic Book of Pirates, a compilation of stories, history and fiction, concerning notorious corsairs, buccaneers, pirates, mutineers, privateers, etc. Wyeth probably learned his way about in the source material through his teacher, Howard Pyle, spurred on by his own enthusiasm. Grand reading, for boys from ten to ninety.
