Synopsis
Dead men tell no tales, or so the pirate maxim goes. But when facing execution in 1831 for mutiny and murder, the previously enigmatic pirate Charles Gibbs recounted the infamous crimes of his harrowing life at sea in a self-aggrandizing series of confessions. Wildly popular reading among nineteenth-century audiences, such criminal confessions were peppered with the romanticized mythology that informs pirate lore to this day. Joseph Gibbs takes up the task of separating fact from fiction to explicate the true story of Charles Gibbs - an alias for James Jeffers (1798-1831) of Newport, Rhode Island - in an investigation that reveals a life as riveting as the legend it replaces.Jeffers was the child of a Revolutionary War privateer captain with his own history in the rough work. After a heroic career in the U.S. Navy during the War of 1812, Jeffers eschewed military life and took to the privateer trade himself. As Charles Gibbs, pirate, he sailed from the ports of Charleston and New Orleans to wreak havoc in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. Stripping away 170 years of embellishment, Joseph Gibbs maps the still-shockingly violent career of Charles Gibbs across the seas and, in the process, challenges and discredits much of his self-made mythology.Gibbs recounts Jeffers' well-documented role in the infamous mutiny and murders in 1830 aboard the brig Vineyard while the vessel was carrying a load of Mexican silver. The pirate was captured the following year and brought to New York. The case against Jeffers and accomplice Thomas Wansley culminated in a sensational trial, which led to their subsequent executions by hanging on Ellis Island.In addition to recounting the exploits of a ruthless cutthroat, The Confessions of Charles Gibbs tells the larger story of American piracy and privateering in the early nineteenth century and illustrates the role of American and European adventurers in the Latin American wars of liberation. Carefully researched, engagingly written, and enhanced by twenty illustrations, this is pirate history at its most credible and readable., Dead men tell no tales, or so the pirate maxim goes.

Carefully researched, engagingly written, and enhanced by twenty illustrations, this is pirate history at its most credible and readable., A chronicle of murders, mutiny, and mayhem carried out by a real pirate of the Caribbean Dead men tell no tales, or so the pirate maxim goes. But shortly before execution for mutiny and murder in 1831, the enigmatic pirate Charles Gibbs recounted the infamous crimes of his harrowing life at sea in a self-aggrandizing series of "confessions." Wildly popular reading among nineteenth-century audiences, such criminal confessions were peppered with the romanticized mythology that informs pirate lore to this day. Author Joseph Gibbs takes up the task of separating fact from fiction to explicate the true story of Charles Gibbs--an alias for James Jeffers (1798-1831) of Newport, Rhode Island--in an investigation that reveals a life as riveting as the legend it replaces. Jeffers was the child of a Revolutionary War privateer captain with his own history of "rough work." Following his father into the privateer trade on behalf of Latin American insurgents, he soon turned to outright piracy, sailing from Cuban ports to wreak havoc in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico aboard a series of commandeered schooners. Along the way, he admittedly had a hand in the taking of dozens of ships and hundreds of lives. Stripping away 170 years of embellishment, Joseph Gibbs maps the still shockingly violent saga of James Jeffers across the seas and in the process challenges and discredits much of the pirate's mythology. He dismisses, for example, Jeffers' claims of War of 1812 heroism, and shows how his confessions were augmented and distorted by generations of writers fascinated by the man's story. The author also recounts Jeffers's well-documented role in the infamous mutiny and murders in 1830 aboard the brig Vineyard while the vessel was carrying a load of Mexican silver. Arrested within days of setting foot on the New York shore, the case against Jeffers and accomplice Thomas Wansley culminated in a sensational trial which ended in their subsequent executions by hanging on Ellis Island. In addition to recounting the life of a ruthless pirate, Dead Men Tell No Tales reconstructs the larger story of American piracy and privateering in the early nineteenth century and illustrates the role of American and European adventurers in the Latin American wars of liberation. Carefully researched, engagingly written, this book is pirate history at its most credible and readable., Presents the true story of Charles Gibbs - an alias for James Jeffers (1798-1831) of Newport, Rhode Island. This book tells the larger story of American piracy and privateering in the early nineteenth century and illustrates the role of American and European adventurers in the Latin American wars of liberation.
