Dead Man's Chest


Book Description

Dead Man's Chest is a classic pirate yarn that begins with long John Silver's escape from the merchantman Hispaniola at Peurta Plata and culminates with the American Revolution more than a decade later. It describes in rich detail the unholy alliance formed between this soft-hearted cut-throut, his teenage nephew, David Noble, and the slaver-turned-merchant captain, John Paul Jones to retrieve a king's ransom of Spanish gold and jewels from Dead Man's Chest; the other two-thirds of the treasure described in Stevenson's novel, and the inspiration for the sailor's ballad by the same name. Dead Man's Chest explains how the Scottish fugitive John Paul Jones earned a naval commission. More importantly, the novel illuminates a hitherto unknown thirty-month period in John Paul's career. From November 1773 when he killed a mutineer to June 1775 when he received his naval commission in Philadelphia from Thomas Jefferson. Learn how the contract that he and John Silver made with the American founding fathers impacted the lives of the Colonists and ultimately helped win America's freedom from Mother England.

Captain Salty Sam and his crew were some of the most feared pirates of the Seven Seas during the 1500s. Whenever Salty Sam's ship the White Pearl was sailing near other ships. If any ship got too close to the White Pearl it was evident they would be fired upon and if any gold was aboard, it would be taken by Salty Sam and his crew. Salty Sam was about to meet his match when Captain Peg Leg's ship The Black Death came inches beside the White Pearl almost scraping its side. This just angered Captain Salty Sam. Salty Sam said, "No one!! I mean No one!! Treads the same waters as the White Pearl, without a fight?" Salty Sam shouted out to his men, "Get the cannons ready and when I give the signal, fire upon that ship, I want it sunk." His men were ready for battle. Salty Sam shouted out to the other ship, "Ahoy! What are ye doing in my waters?" Captain Peg Leg answered," This is what I'm doing," as he laughed and then said to his men" Fire!! His men fired upon the White Pearl and a fierce battle arose, but Captain Peg Leg's The Black Death ship was too strong for Captain Salty Sam's ship the White Pearl. After intense cannon fire, the White Pearl surrendered and Captain Peg Leg's men boarded the White Pearl and took all their gold as the ship the White Pearl was slowly sinking into the sea with its Captain and crew members. Captain Peg Leg said to his men, "That was easy ye mateys." and laughed. Then the ship The Black Death sailed farther out to sea in search of an island to bury the treasure. One of his men yelled out, "Look, Captain, there's an island in the distance that ought to be the perfect spot to bury my treasure chest.
