You may think you know all about the pirates of the Caribbean, but there's more.... During the golden age of the pirates in the eighteenth century, a family of mapmakers was entrusted with all of the greatest pirates' secrets. The McGees were commissioned by buccaneers to draw maps to their buried treasure. But the family had a secret of its own: The McGees hid clues in their maps to lead others to the pirates' loot! These maps have been lost for hundreds of years--until now. The brothers Owen have recreated thirteen of the original McGee maps--along with clues that may reveal a long-missing fourteenth map. As you read the history, legends, and lore of the pirates of the Caribbean, look for the clues to help you discover the missing treasure map.

I purchased this book after reading a review in a local paper. The authors live near my town and that also influenced my decision as well as my love of pirates and stories. I wasn't disappointed as I found it to be of great historical interest as well as a wonderful book of art and lore. I highly recommend it to the lover of pirate lore as well as those interested in treasure maps and such.
