One hundred and eighty-five years ago, the Terrific Register thrilled its readers with tales of Turkish princes and wicked thieves, black-hearted murderers, dreadful massacres and the boldest criminals ever to menace the traveller by land or sea. This selection contains the most graphic tales of highway thefts and dark deeds on the high seas. You will find herein the life of Blackbeard and the adventures of Henry Morgan, Welsh privateer and one of the most dangerous men ever to sail the Spanish Main; countless tales of murder and rapine by the wayside culminate in the strange story of the resurrected highwayman, brought back from the dead after his execution - forcing the authorities to hang him for the second time.
