Evolution of Surgical Instruments An Illustrated History from Ancient Times to the Twentieth... Book

Excellent journalism. Please be advised this is original source material, written in 1724. Apparently they only used periods at the end of paragraphs then, the longest run-on sentences you have ever seen. Ascribed to Captain Charles Johnson but some old scholarship has decided it was really Daniel Defoe. Thats interesting but clearly whomever was the author, they were present at their trials and executions in England. Well researched, the author attempts to catalogue all the know pirates of Africa, Eastcoast of US, and Caribbean. Do not buy this if you want to read a novel or good yarn. But some of the graphic details of pirate activities will shock you. Includes a couple female pirates who had to pass as males.
