Yo-ho-ho! Join our terror on the high seas as stories of famous pirates from around the world are retold in this fast-moving series for kids in grades 3 through 6; each book includes an analysis page in each chapter that helps the kids understand what is real and what might have been fictionalized over time; Each book provides a concluding chapter that recounts for the kids whether the pirate is more legend or mostly truth.Henry Morgan became the most famous and feared pirate among the eastern islands and coasts of the Americas in the mid-1600s. At least "pirate" was the term his Spanish enemies used to describe him. As for Morgan, he felt totally offended at being called a pirate. He was no thief and murderer, he insisted. Rather, he saw himself as a proud English patriot. He preferred that people called him a privateer, someone who had the permission of his king to attack his nation's enemies. Indeed, claiming to have that royal backing, Morgan avidly assaulted Spanish ships and towns in the Americas. Based in English-controlled Jamaica and other islands, he and his crewmen became widely known for combining boldness, bravery, and bloody brutality in ways that had never been seen before--or since then! This book correlates well to common core standards that ask students to read stories and literature, as well as more complex texts that provide facts and background knowledge in areas such as science and social studies. Students will be challenged and asked questions that push them to refer back to what they've read. This stresses critical-thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills that are required for success in college, career, and life.
