Description
I really should be ashamed of myself for having a fascination with such unsavory characters...............especially this scurvy scum. I won't go into the gruesome details, but Edward Teach was THE LAST person you EVER wanted to run into while on a ship. When attacking a vessel, he would actually wind fuse cord through his hair and light it on fire for further effect, as if that was really necessary. Many was the time that once people caught sight of his ship and realized their impending doom, they would jump overboard rather than be captured. He was a hideous reprobate.........

Mr. Bob, my honorable sir, This gorgeous gallery of yours you call "Saints And Sinners" reminds me of a statement by the world-famous Russian author Alexander Solzhenitsin who made a trenchant remark about the human nature. He said, "The line between good and evil runs through every human heart."
