Bellamy's Bride: The Search for Maria Hallett of Cape Cod (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781540204653)

Venture back to 1715, when a fifteen-year-old Cape Cod girl named Maria Hallett was seduced by a twenty-six-year-old Englishman named Samuel Bellamy. Bellamy soon left her to become one of the most infamous pirates of his day Black Sam Bellamy. Maria remained on the Cape but was forced to live in solitude after giving birth to Bellamy s child. Two years later, Bellamy returned to his love, and Maria watched from the dunes as his flagship, the Whydah, sank in the worst nor easter in the history of the Cape. The legend of Maria Hallett has been passed down for over two hundred years, and Cape Cod writer Kathleen Brunelle brings a fresh breath of sea air to this epic tale in her search for Bellamy s bride."
