Captain Caesar, notorious black buccaneer who hunted for merchantmen and other vessels in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico for twenty-four years from 1805 to 1829. --Archives of Piracy, London 1849. Quote taken from Back Cover--"From his boyhood as a slave on a sugar plantation in Haiti to the end of his career as the most successful pirate on the seven seas, the life of Henri Caesar was one of lust, adventure, bloodshed and heartbreak. Caesar built his fortune on guts alone. With an all-black crew, he captured a French frigate, renamed it the Black Caesar, and made it into the deadliest pirate ship ever. Then Caesar turned to slave trading, kidnapping white women for the harems of the Middle East, and trading Africans in the slave markets of America. Henri Caesar soon became a legend in the savage world of piracy. Black Pirate is his story - from slave to slave trader."
