One thing I wanted to mention as our Blackbeard story starts to wind down. When Blackbeard made his last stand, and the author mentions that he wouldn’t die, he’s not kidding. When Maynard examined Blackbeard’s body, he discovered that he was shot in five different places and had been stabbed or otherwise cut twenty times. Just a little gruesome detail for you.
Also, and so I guess this is the second thing, the captains of the ships in this story really existed. Stede Bonnet was a pirate known for his high code of conduct. Lieutenant Maynard was the one who swore to take down Blackbeard, and had a final duel with him. Ned Rackham is likely an embellishment of Calico Jack Rackham, who may have sailed with Blackbeard, but certainly knew him. Feel free to dive down any rabbit holes you need to double check.
And now, Blackbeard: Buccaneer, Part 7 of 8, by Ralph D. Paine
