Best-selling author Eric Jay Dolin captains us through the Golden Age of American piracy.

In this virtual event, best-selling author Eric Jay Dolin will take us through the Golden Age of American piracy when lawless pirates plied the coastal waters of North America and beyond. Dolin will explore how colonists at first supported these outrageous pirates in an early display of solidarity against the Crown, and then violently opposed them. Legendary pirates such as Blackbeard, the ill-fated Captain Kidd, and sadistic Edward Low, who delighted in torturing his pre, will all be discussed. Black Flags, Blue Waters was chosen as a &quot;Must-Read&quot; book for 2019 by the Massachusetts Center for the Book.This is a virtual event and is free of charge.
