Howard Pyle,
His mark

Howard Pyle's
Book of Pirates

Ye Pirate Bold.

t is not because of his life of adventure and daring that I admire this one of my favorite heroes; nor is it because of blowing winds nor blue ocean nor balmy islands which he knew so well; nor is it because of gold he spent nor treasure he hid. He was a man who knew his own mind and what he wanted.
