* American pirate Charles Gibbs
Nearly a full column on page 2 is taken up with "Confession of Gibbs, the Pirate" which begins: "The confessions of this wretched being, now on the confines of eternity...unveil a career of long & desperate crimes..." with much more on his life.
Charles Gibbs was one of the last active pirates in the Caribbean during the early 19th century, and was among the last persons to be executed for piracy by the United States. He was executed a few weeks later.
Four pages, minor margin wear & some foxing, good condition.
