Project Gutenberg 2006-10-17 Public domain in the USA. 857 Gosse, Philip 1879 1959 The Pirates' Who's Who Giving Particulars Of The Lives and Deaths Of The Pirates And Buccaneers Produced by Suzanne Shell, Christine D. and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Pirates' Who's Who" by Philip Gosse is a biographical reference work published in the early 20th century. It aims to compile detailed accounts of notable pirates and buccaneers, focusing on their lives and deaths, rather than providing a comprehensive history of piracy itself. The book introduces readers to a range of characters that have become synonymous with piracy, detailing their exploits and the cultural impact they have had throughout history. At the start of the book, the author establishes the purpose and intent behind the compilation, indicating that this is not a traditional historical narrative but rather a collection of drifting accounts about individual pirates. Gosse acknowledges the lack of substantial information about pirates in other notable works and aims to fill that gap. He provides an overview of the life associated with piracy, including the social and economic motivations that led individuals to a life of crime on the seas, illustrating the complexity of identity for those labeled as pirates or buccaneers throughout history. The opening sets a descriptive tone, inviting readers to explore the rich tapestry of narratives that will follow in the pages dedicated to these infamous sea rogues.
