notes:
|
Stede Bonnet was a successful Barbados planter who left his plantation and took up piracy. He allied himself with Edward Teach, also known as Blackbeard. Despite having several chances to reform, he returned to piracy and was eventually hanged in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1718. This work is often attributed to Defoe based on textual relationship to works of Defoe's proven authorship together with supporting external evidence.
