Canadian History

Pirates and Outlaws of Canada Pirates and Outlaws of Canada 1610 to 1932 By Edward Butts For over three hundred years, lawlessness kept pace with the march of European civilization across the land now called Canada. While some made their way with the plough and the trapline, others sought their fortune with a cutlass or a pistol. Pirates & Outlaws takes the reader to a time when pirates prowled the Atlantic coast and outlaws roamed the western and far northern frontiers. It is the story of their adventures, their crimes, their contributions, and for some, their bloody, untimely deaths. From the notorious pirate Peter Easton, still celebrated in Newfoundland, to the homicidal "Mad Trapper" of the Yukon, each tale is a thrilling and suspenseful adventure. Pirates & Outlaws--the first popular history of piracy and brigandry on Canada's soil and in her waters--gives a unique perspective on the dark side of Canadian history. 6" x 9", 250 pages Quantity :  CAD $ 24.95  Click here to ask a question about this item
