Review # 1 was written on 2008-03-15 00:00:00 Claus Durst Well, I prefer hearing Blackbeard's pirating tales rather than the end of his life, but whatever. It's still one I like because it talks about Carolina.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-10-18 00:00:00 Robert Taylor Blackbeard's Last Fight was a fun and engaging book. This story begins with a Leiutient of the Navy being asked by the Governor of Vergina to kill Blackbeard on unofficial orders. The Leiutient and his buddy Jeremy put a crew together and set towards North Carolina where Blackbeard was known to be enjoying a royal pardon. As the Leiutient and his crew were traveling down to North Carolina where Blackbeard was they found themselves trapped on aground in the sand, one of Blackbeard's traps. But the crew managed to get out and eventually fights and kills Blackbeard. This historical fiction is historically accurate regarding Blackbeard the pirate who set up his headquarters by Ocracoke Island. This book is also historically accurate regarding battle details, and the Governor sending a Naval officer on an illegal expedition to kill Blackbeard. However, Blackbeard's death is not for certain, the author of this book seems to have his theories based on multiple novels he has read. But who killed him is not known. Although slightly graphic, this book would be a fun read aloud around Halloween for grades 2nd through 5th. The talk of pirates would also be a fun way to get students to begin talking about Colonial times.
