Description

The story of Thomas Tew is best told somewhere in the realm between probable and plausible. Hard facts about the life of Rhode Island's own pirate are few and far between. Yet, through careful examination of contemporary court records, testimonies, and eyewitness accounts, along with historically accepted secondary sources, a truthful rendering of Tew's exploits comes to life in A Gold Chain, a Wooden Leg, and a Treasure Chest. With detailed analysis of the historiography of Thomas Tew, no single volume has presented a more accurate or comprehensive look at one of the most enigmatic freebooters in the Golden Age of Piracy.

  • Amazingly thorough but easy to read the life of Captain Thomas Tew.
Format: Paperback
I read this book so fast because I could not put it down. It was packed with so much information, not just on Captain Tew but on other noteworthy pirates of his time. The research was extensive and well written, so that it was easy to understand with amazing photographs of artifacts. I could not recommend this book more highly. It was an amazing read, packed with adventure and the extraordinary life of Captain Thomas Tew. ... show more
