Black Buccaneer

Two teen boys are kidnapped by pirates along the Atlantic coast of the American colonies in the early 1700s. It is a privilege for me to make available this exciting and beautifully-written piece of YA historical fiction by Stephen W. Meader. But please be advised that, as this book was published in 1920, listeners should be aware it reflects the place, language, and culture of the time in which it was written, as well as the attitudes of the white male author. The story includes descriptions of, and attitudes towards, Indigenous North Americans and African-Americans, that are racist. Some of the predominately young, white, male audience (for whom it was intended) may have been, and may still be, influenced by this content. (Summary by Warren Bergmann)
