Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Was he New York Citys last pirate . . . or its first gangster? This is the true story of the bloodthirsty underworld legend who conquered Manhattan, dock by dockfor fans of Gangs of New York and Boardwalk Empire.History at its best . . . I highly recommend this remarkable book.Douglas Preston, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Lost City of the Monkey GodHandsome and charismatic, Albert Hicks had long been known in the dive bars and gin joints of the Five Points, the most dangerous neighborhood in maritime Manhattan. For years, he operated out of the public eye, rambling from crime to crime, working on the water in ships, sleeping in the nickel-a-night flops, drinking in barrooms where rat-baiting and bear-baiting were great entertainments.His criminal career reached its peak in 1860, when he was hired, under an alias, as a hand on an oyster sloop. His plan was to rob the ship and flee, disappearing into the teeming streets of lower Manhattan, as hed done numerous times before, eventually finding his way back to his nearsighted Irish immigrant wife (who, like him, had been disowned by her family) and their infant son. But the plan went awrythe ship was found listing and unmanned in the foggy straits of Coney Islandand the voyage that was to enrich him instead led to his last desperate flight.Long fascinated by gangster legends, Rich Cohen tells the story of this notorious underworld figure, from his humble origins to the wild, globe-crossing, bacchanalian crime spree that forged his ruthlessness and his reputation, to his ultimate incarnation as a demon who terrorized lower Manhattan, at a time when pirates anchored off 14th Street.Advance praise for The Last Pirate of New YorkA remarkable work of scholarship about old New York, combined with a skillfully told, edge-of-your-seat adventure storyI could not put it down.Ian Frazier, author of Travels in Siberia With its wise and erudite storytelling, Rich Cohens The Last Pirate of New York takes the reader on an exciting nonfiction narrative journey that transforms a grisly nineteenth-century murder into a shrewd portent of modern life. Totally unique, totally compelling, I enjoyed every page.Howard Blum, New York Times bestselling author of Gangland and American Lightning Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
