"Piracy off the Florida Coast and Elsewhere" by Samuel A. Green is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically in the early 1910s. The book explores the phenomenon of piracy that plagued the high seas, particularly focusing on incidents off the Florida coast and broader maritime areas. Green draws from historical records and personal anecdotes to illustrate the extensive reach of piracy and its impact on maritime trade and safety during its peak. In this work, Green recounts several vivid accounts of piracy, including a detailed narrative about the capture of the ship "Emma Sophia" in 1818. Through the experiences of those involved, the text uncovers the brutal nature of pirates, their methods of operation, and the chaotic atmosphere surrounding such encounters. Green highlights the lack of legal protections for victims, the swift justice meted out to captured pirates, and the societal perceptions of piracy at the time. By weaving personal accounts and historical context together, the book provides a rich tapestry of maritime history, portraying both the terror of pirates and the resilience of those targeted.
