Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:
#1 Impressment was a hybrid of the modern military draft and state-sponsored kidnapping. It was used to force sailors into the Royal Navy, and it was common for cottagers to be impressed.
#2 The Vagabond Act of 1597 attempted to combat the homeless problem in England by making it punishable by public whipping if you were caught being homeless. The act also empowered the press gangs if the wandering scholars and jugglers didn’t want to be stripped naked and whipped.
#3 The life of Henry Every, the Devonshire sailor, is shrouded in mystery. Almost nothing is known about his childhood. He seems to have been born in Devonshire, England, and joined the Royal Navy as a teenager.
#4 The story of Henry Every is a palimpsest of legends. He was a mutineer, a working class hero, an enemy of the state, and a pirate king. He became a ghost after his death.
