I know I have been terrible about keeping up with written reviews. It has just been bonkers in these parts lately. This will be review 1 of 2 today, both West Coast history.
I really wanted to like this. If you've followed this blog for a while, you know my obsession with pirates, especially New England and Canadian Maritime pirates. I did not realize this was about PACIFIC pirates when I started it. In fact I had no idea Captain Morgan, yes THAT Captain Morgan, left Jamaica to plunder the West Coast rather than the Caribbean.
I decided to continue reading anyway. I expected narrative non-fiction like The Murder of Helen Jewett or Conductor on the Underground Railroad, but this was wayyyyyy too wordy to hold my interest. I gave up about midway through, and read Morgan's entry on Wikipedia instead. *shrugs
I do hope someone out there finds this branch of pirate/West Coast history intriguing.
