# If a Pirate I Must Be: The True Story of Black Bart, "King of the Caribbean Pirates"
### Richard Sanders
How much did the pirate pay for his peg and hook? An arm and a leg!
Bartholomew Roberts, aka Black Bart, a great Caribbean pirate. Drinking tea instead of rum, banning women and gambling, he never made his prisoners walk the plank. Evidently there are many more interesting facts to discover, so say the reviews!
Read what you can and join us for a jolly good time. It is sure to be a discussion unlike any we've had before. Until then watch out for pirate ships; they're assailing vessels.
