Dublin Core
Abstract
Dime novel story of pirates, lawmen, and a young woman married to a pirate in St. Augustine planning to find buried treasure in the Bahamas or the Keys.
The author did not know the geography of St. Augustine and used a location in Green Cove Springs as the main geographic point for the story. Based on descriptions, he was probably thinking of the portion of Anastasia Island now known as Davis Shores. This story was reprinted in 1890.
