Description
1884 Philadelphia Pennsylvania Americana PIRATES Blackbeard Watson 3v

John Watson’s ‘Annals of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania’ is a fine historical account of the history of Pennsylvania. Watson begins this impressive work covering the primitive settlements, the business acumen of William Penn, as well as his initial designs for founding a colony. Other notable topics include colonial Philadelphia criminal law, establishment of hospitals and public buildings, and goods and trade shipments.

An important section in this book cannot go without mention – Watson includes a brief, yet important chapter on the presence of Pirates in ships headed to Pennsylvania including the infamous Captain Kid and Blackbeard! In this same section, he mentions the existence of Negro slaves in Pennsylvania and how the slave movement evolved in the north.
