Savannah of Williamsburg: The Trials of Blackbeard and His Pirates - Virginia 1718

by Jennifer Susannah Devore

Overview

1718: Within Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia and the Outer Banks of North Carolina a true-life battle raged between the notorious Pirate King Blackbeard and the military forces of Alexander Spotswood, Royal Governor of Virginia. Among Blackbeard's crew was an 11 year-old French boy named Louis Arot whom finds himself in a colonial jail and set to hang for the crime of piracy. Join Miss Savannah Squirrel in her second colonial adventure as she embarks on another journey of discovery. With new friends and high stakes, Savannah marshals all the resources of a posh and polite squirrel to navigate the complexities of early-American commerce, politics and maritime law to try and save a young boy from the hangman's noose. The result is a gripping story as exciting as a ride on a runaway carriage and as dangerous as tempting Lady Fortuna on an angry sea.

Editorial Reviews

Having worked at Colonial Williamsburg for fourteen years as an historical interpreter, I was very impressed with the accuracy of the books. It was obvious a lot of research went into this book and it made for a very good read.

Colonial Williamsburg Foundation - Betty Pridgen

A nice perspective for teaching. Certainly it's a great way to present the history of the area.

James City County Schools - Deveria Gore

I just finished reading Savannah of Williamsburg and loved it! You are to be commended on your research for detail. I learned so much history in such an enjoyable way. Savannah of Williamsburg makes a great Early American History lesson for young readers. One of our seventh graders says you teach it better than his teacher and make it more interesting.

North Carolina Public Schools - Marlene Casto, retired educator
