"The Pirates of the New England Coast, 1630-1730" by George Francis Dow and John Henry Edmonds is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the lore of piracy along the New England coast during a transformative period in American maritime history. It examines the infamous pirates of the region and their impact on early American society, bringing to life the complex interrelationship between piracy, commerce, and law in the colonies. The opening of this historical account sets the stage by discussing the rich tapestry of anecdotal tales surrounding pirates that have been woven into New England’s cultural fabric. It highlights the intertwining of legend and reality, noting how many well-known pirate stories may have emerged from the activities of smugglers and the challenges posed by the British Navigation Acts. The authors emphasize their commitment to providing a factual narrative grounded in original documents and verified accounts, while also acknowledging the intricate fabric of pirate adventures that has captivated imaginations through the ages.
