Though much of his early life remains a mystery, Blackbeard most likely began his life as Edward Teach in the sailing port of Bristol, England. He began his career as a hired British sailor during Queen Anne's War. He eventually settled in the Bahamas under Captain Benjamin Hornigold who taught the young sailor to go "a-pirating."

Soon enough, Blackbeard was commanding his own fleet and stealing ships around the Caribbean and up and down the Eastern seaboard. Known for his thick, black beard and fearsome reputation, the legend of Blackbeard has influenced pirate legend and lore for more than 300 years.

This is a great beginning to learning about Blackbeard. I got it for my elementary kids wanting to spike their interest but I found I enjoyed it greatly myself. The narration is top notch.

Quick read and worth the time.

Very disappointed in this costing me a credit. It’s a good basic book but I feel a bit ripped off.
