Today on Your History Your Story, we’re joined by Samuel Marquis, acclaimed author of numerous American history and suspense books, including “Blackbeard: The Birth of America”. Samuel is here to talk about his latest work, “Captain Kidd: A True Story of Treasure and Betrayal”.
While many people remember William Kidd as one of history’s most notorious pirates, he was in fact a respected privateer, merchant and wartime hero who made his home in colonial New York City in the late 1600’s. Samuel—who happens to be Kidd’s nine-time great-grandson—shares the real story of a man far more complex than legend suggests and who ultimately became a scapegoat for powerful political forces.
