"The History of the Pyrates, Vol. II" by Daniel Defoe is a historical account likely written in the early 18th century. This volume continues the exploration of notorious pirates, detailing the lives of various captains, including Captain Misson, Captain Kidd, and their crews, while interweaving descriptions of the societies and cultures they interacted with. The book also delves into themes of adventure, morality, and the complexities of life at sea during the Golden Age of Piracy. At the start of the volume, the narrative introduces Captain Misson, highlighting his origins, his decision to pursue a life at sea, and his eventual turn to piracy. His adventures are marked by a growing disillusionment with institutional religion and a desire for freedom, which leads him to gather a loyal crew who share his revolutionary ideals. The opening details the rigorous recruitment and governance methods employed by Misson, setting the stage for his moral and philosophical beliefs about freedom, justice, and the nature of tyranny as they embark on their piratical endeavors.
