Who Was Blackbeard? Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Though much of his early life remains a mystery, Blackbeard most likely began his life as Edward Teach in the sailing port of Bristol, England. He began his career as a hired British sailor during Queen Anne’s War. He eventually settled in the Bahamas under Captain Benjamin Hornigold who taught the young sailor to go "a-pirating." Soon enough, Blackbeard was commanding his own fleet and stealing ships around the Caribbean and up and down the Eastern seaboard. Known for his thick, black beard and fearsome reputation, the legend of Blackbeard has influenced pirate legend and lore for over 300 years.

My son loves the who was series of books and this was one he was anticipating before it was even released. It did not dissapoint and he was very happy to get it as a christmas gift. I highly recommend this book and the entire series.
My 8 year old has been slow to read, but then we found the Who Was, What Was Books! These books are great! The language is simple enough for him to read himself, but the book does a great job explaining to topic being covered. I must admit, I have been learning a great deal listening to my 3rd Grader read! These are great books to get readers interested in topics.After reading the Blackbeard book in 2 days, my son is already begging me to get more books about Blackbeard!
