Lindsay is joined by author Samuel Marquis to discuss his book, “Captain Kidd: A True Story of Treasure and Betrayal,” which will be released on May 13, 2025, by Diversion Books. Captain Kidd has captivated imaginations for over 300 years and inspired many stories about pirates, but was he a criminal? Just how many ships did he plunder, how many men did he force to walk the plank, and how many throats did he slit? Or is the truth more inconvenient, that he was a buccaneer's worst nightmare, a revered pirate hunter turned fall guy for scheming politicians?  In “Captain Kidd,” Marquis reveals the real story. Kidd was an English-American privateer and a leading New York husband and father, dubbed “trusty and well-beloved” by the King of England himself and described by historians as a “worthy, honest-hearted, steadfast, much-enduring sailor” who was the “victim of a deliberate travesty of justice.” With honors far more esteemed than the menacing Blackbeard or any other sea rover at the turn of the 17th century, how can Kidd be considered both a gentleman and pirate, both hero and villain? The ninth-great-grandson of legendary privateer Captain William Kidd, Samuel Marquis, M.S., P.G., is a professional hydrogeologist, expert witness, and bestselling, award-winning author of 12 American nonfiction-history, historical fiction, and suspense books, covering primarily the period from colonial America through WWII. His American history and historical fiction books have been #1 Denver Post and Amazon bestsellers, and have received multiple national book awards in both fiction and nonfiction categories, including the Kirkus Reviews and Foreword Reviews Book of the Year, American Book Fest and USA Best Book, Readers' Favorite, and the Colorado Book Awards. His historical titles have also garnered glowing reviews from #1 bestseller James Patterson, maritime historians, U.S. military veterans, Kirkus Reviews, and Foreword Reviews (5 Stars). His pirate book, “Blackbeard: The Birth of America,” has been an Amazon #1 Bestseller in U.S. Colonial Period History. The Marquis lives with his wife in Louisville, Colorado, where they raised their three children.

One of history's most notorious pirates is Captain William Kidd. His legend is tied to rumors of the buried treasure he supposedly left up and down the Atlantic coast, from the Caribbean to Canada. But Captain Kidd insisted he wasn't a pirate — and in reality, he may not have buried much treasure at all.

Join us this week for something new. Salem will be telling two stories Belle researched and wrote about pirates. Captain William Kidd and Anne Bonny.

Captain William Kidd (or Robert Kidd) was a Scottish privateer. He was likely born in Dundee and later settled in New York City. But 1690, Kidd had become a highly successful privateer, commissioned to protect English interests in North America and the West Indies. In 1695, Kidd received a royal commission to hunt down pirates and enemy French ships in the Indian Ocean. Later, England turned against him and he was denounced as a pirate. He was arrested upon his return to Boston and stood trial in London. He was found guilty and hanged in 1701. Because of his quick arrest, many believed that Kidd hid or buried his hoards of treasure and sought to uncover it. Among those who hunted for Kidd's treasure was the man who would later be called the founder of the Mormon Church: Joseph Smith. Join Julia and America as they discuss the sources connecting Joseph Smith's to Captain Kidd's buried treasure.

We're back with new episodes on New Year's Day, but, before we finally turn our backs on 2023 for good, here's Olly's choice for his favourite episode of the year - our story from 23rd May, the day in 1701 when sea captain William Kidd was executed for piracy and murder.  From the gallows, Kidd proclaimed to the large assembled crowd that he was innocent of the crimes, as he was a licensed privateer.  The vessel he'd captured, the Quedagh Merchant, was indeed sailing under a ‘French pass' – though the documents that prove this lay unearthed until the 20th century. His trial was used by the governing Tory party as a political opportunity to embarrass his Whig sponsors, and he was convicted on all counts. In this episode, The Retrospectors explain what happened to his body after his botched hanging; reveal the extraordinary monetary value of his plunder; and explain how, despite his established prowess as a seaman, he became seen as a public enemy… Further Reading: ‘Biography of Captain William Kidd, Scottish Pirate' (ThoughtCo, 2019): https://www.thoughtco.com/captain-william-kidd-2136225 ‘The sacrifice of Captain Kidd' (HistoryExtra, 2011): https://www.historyextra.com/period/stuart/the-sacrifice-of-captain-kidd/ ‘Accidental Pirate' (National Geographic, 2008): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4aGvWzFoko Hosted on Acast.

The New Orleans City Council is getting closer to passing new laws governing short-term rentals like Airbnbs. WWNO's Carly Berlin has been tracking the potential changes. She sat down with Louisiana Considered producer Alana Schreiber to debrief us on recent news and to tell us what's coming next. Earlier this month, The Task Force on State Recognition of Indian Tribes met for the last time without being able to agree on any set criteria for recognizing tribes in Louisiana. Fifteen tribes are now recognized, but there are still not clear criteria for determining if others should be. To learn more about the importance of tribal recognition and why the taskforce is at a stalemate, we're joined by Chief Troy Kerry of the Apalachee Tribe and Elder Chief Shirell Parfait-Dardar of the Grand Caillou/Dulac Band of Biloxi-Chitimacha-Choctaw. The USS KIDD Veterans Museum in downtown Baton Rouge has a new permanent exhibit, “Pirates! The Story Behind the Pirate of the Pacific.” The exhibit is housed within a full-scale replica of an 18th Century pirate ship's gun deck and tells the story of Captain William Kidd, who's described by historians as “America's most ruthless buccaneer.” Parks Stephenson, Museum Executive Director, tells us more about this exciting new exhibition. Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karen Henderson. Our managing producer is Alana Schreiber and our digital editor is Katelyn Umholtz.

Illicit commerce was key to the survival of the mid-Atlantic colonies from the Golden Age of Piracy to the battles of the American Revolution. Out of this exciting time came beloved villains like Captain William Kidd and Black Sam Bellamy, as well as inspiring locals like Captain Shelley and James Forten. From the shores of New York to the oceans of the East Indies, from Delaware Bay to the islands of the West Indies, author Jamie L.H. Goodall illuminates the height of piratical depredations in the mid-Atlantic in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Jamie L.H. Goodall, PhD, is staff historian with the U.S. Army Center of Military History in Washington, D.C. She has a PhD in history from The Ohio State University, with specializations in Atlantic world, early American and military histories.

The Lost Shawangunk Silver Mine is found at the upper part of Sullivan County in the Catskill Mountains between Lake Mongaup and Hodge Pond. Almost a mile east of Shokan Village in County 28, Ulster County, a bootleger from New York is reported to have hidden two and a half million dollars worth of paper currency in several iron boxes during the Prohibition days, somewhere on a deserted farm at the upper part of Ashokan Reservoir. He was caught, but the FBI and other law enforcement agencies failed to find his loot. Also located someplace in this area is the Lost Truman Hurd Gold Mine. Another cache of valuables known as the Tongorara Treasure is presumed to be hidden between Kingston City at U.S. 87 and the lower edge of this reservoir. It consists of gold and silver coins valued at over one million dollars. Accord's tiny village at State 209, Ulster County, is where Rufe Evans, a miner, buried a hoard of silver ore and bullion somewhere within or nearby the hamlet. At the time of the Revolution, a band of Tory raiders stashed a sizeable amount of plunder outside Summitville, State 209, Sullivan County, in a cave somewhere in the Shawangunk Mountains. Tracy Maxwell, a farmer who died in 1948 and lived two miles west of Surprise on County 81, Greene County, stated in his will that he hid paper currency and a stockpile of family jewelry worth around $135,000 somewhere in or around his barn. His family had spent more than $20,000 trying to find his treasure, but they have been unsuccessful. Eighteenth-century river pirates are believed to have buried many caches of treasure within and around the vicinity of West Point Military Academy during the Revolution. The Tories, who were forced to flee Peeksill for their lives during the Revolution, buried numerous treasures somewhere in the region. Researching where the Tories lived by examining old property records might reveal where they hid their valued possessions. The Hudson River's narrowest place is a spot called Kidd's Point. It is alleged that the renowned criminal buried a hoard of treasure in this area, making it famous as an expedition site frequented by treasure hunters over the years. A few miles south of Peekskill, located on a bluff overlooking the Hudson River at Stony Point, is a cave where another cache of pirate treasure is allegedly hidden. A place called Money Hill, located a few miles south of Croton-on-the-Hudson, is said to be the spot where a great treasure whose origin is unknown is rumored to have been buried. Some caches holding silver and gold coins amounting to $750,000 were hidden in Hicksville, County 135, on Long Island by an affluent misanthrope somewhere on his estate. A bulldozer operator discovered one of the caches holding $89,000 of old coins in 1960. A pirate named Joe Brandish is believed to have hidden some treasure chests on the northeastern tip of Long Island on Orient Point, sometime in the late eighteenth century. Gardiner's Island, located in Block Island Sound, is the most famous place where Captain William Kidd buried his treasure and the most likely to be so indeed. It is a fact that he and other pirates used the island as their headquarters. Kidd stayed there immediately after seizing a valuable prize at sea, just before his capture and execution by hanging. Kidd Valley, a site on this island, has rocks imprinted with many symbols some have taken to be clues that, if deciphered and understood, would reveal the exact location of Kidd's treasure. Fisher's Island, situated close north of Gardiner's Island, is reputed to have been often used by pirates. It is believed that some have hidden their treasures here. The coins and other precious trinkets found on the island are thought to have washed aground from shipwrecks. The pirate Charles Gibbs is said to have buried a tremendous amount of treasure somewhere in Southampton Beach, County 27, Long Island, sometime in the early years of 1800.

Captain William Kidd spent the night before his departure from London bragging about his Letter of Marque. And annoying all the Navy officers in the tavern. They decided to get back at him once he set sail. It turned out to be a major issue down the road.

Today on Conflict Radio we have guest Eric Jay Dolin with us to talk about Pirates. 6 to be exact. Captain William Kidd, Black Beard, Henry Morgan, Steve Bonnet, Sam Bellamy and Edward Low. Pull up a chair and relax.. It's time to go PirateSet against the backdrop of the Age of Exploration, Black Flags, Blue Waters reveals the dramatic and surprising history of American piracy’s “Golden Age”—spanning the late 1600s through the early 1700s—when lawless pirates plied the coastal waters of North America and beyond. Bestselling author Eric Jay Dolin illustrates how American colonists at first supported these outrageous pirates in an early display of colonial solidarity against the Crown, and then violently opposed them. Through engrossing episodes of roguish glamour and extreme brutality, Dolin depicts the star pirates of this period, among them towering Blackbeard, ill-fated Captain Kidd, and sadistic Edward Low, who delighted in torturing his prey. Also brilliantly detailed are the pirates’ manifold enemies, including colonial governor John Winthrop, evangelist Cotton Mather, and young Benjamin Franklin. Upending popular misconceptions and cartoonish stereotypes, Dolin provides this wholly original account of the seafaring outlaws whose raids reflect the precarious nature of American colonial life.https://www.ericjaydolin.com/Conflict Radio - Episode 93 Black Flags, Blue Waters with Eric Jay Dolinhttps://conflictradio.net/

Captain William Kidd is best known for the rumors of his buried treasure. If not also for his lasting legacy in literature, in such tales as Treasure Island.

Captain William Kidd's name might be one that you would think of along blackbeard if someone where to mention pirates. In fact a lot of people believe that in an attempt to retain some on his wealth from the years he spent pirating fortunes that he did the second thing you would think of if someone were to mention pirates…that's right bury some of his treasure.

On today’s episode - our last of this season - we’re addressing an age-old question: “Privateer or Pirate?” Ok, maybe not age old, exactly, but it’s a question I didn’t even know to ask until I spoke with maritime archaeologist Neil Dobson, whose work spans decades of deep-water shipwreck exploration and recovery. In his all his years of studying ships and their legendary captains, none has captured Neil’s imagination, and heart quite so much as that of the famous Captain William Kidd, who was a “privateer” wrongly convicted as a pirate and, as Washington Irving writes in our opening passage, hanged for his “crimes.” If you’re wondering what the heck a privateer is, how one could be confused with a pirate, and above all, why that would be such a terrible thing in the eyes of the law, you’ve come to the right time machine. So - Hoist the sails! Yo ho ho and a bottle of... beer? Well, that’s what Neil says, anyway. 

During his life and even after his death, Captain William Kidd's name was known around England and the American colonies. He was infamous for the very crime for which he was hanged, piracy. Why We Love Pirates, by Rebecca Simon, dives into the details of the two-year manhunt for Captain Kidd and the events that ensued afterward. Captain Kidd was hanged in 1701, and from that sprung a massive hunt for all pirates led by the British during a period known as the Golden Age of Piracy. Ironically, public executions only led to pirates' growth in popularity and interest. In addition, because the American colonies relied on pirates for smuggled goods such as spices, wines, and silks, they sought to protect pirates from being captured. The more pirates were hunted and executed, the more people became supportive of them. They felt for the "Robin Hoods of the Sea"--both because they saw the British's treatment of them as an injustice and because they treasured the goods that pirates brought to them. These historical events were pivotal in creating the portrayal of pirates as we know them today. They grew into romantic antiheroes--which ultimately led to characters like the mischievous but lovable Captain Jack Sparrow. Simon has presented her research on the history of pirates around the world and now she's bringing the spectacular story of Captain Kidd to her readers. ________________________________________________ Produced by Maddie Gobbo & Michael Kowaleski Theme: "I Love All My Friends," a new, unreleased demo by Fragile Gang.

Today I will be reviewing my recent research into the topic of how the pirate Captain William Kidd and the practice of New England treasure digging that followed Kidd directly inspired Joseph Smith to create the Book of Mormon.   I've been doing this research in preparation for a new Youtube channel I'm launching called "Understanding Mormonism with Dr. John Dehlin."   I need your help in the following ways:   1) I'd love to know if there are any important errors or omissions in my research. 2) I'd love to know if you find the research interesting/worthwhile overall. 3) I am making a call for listeners to submit their own essays/PowerPoint presentations for future videos in this project.   Any feedback, questions, or any submissions can be sent to:   understandmormonism@gmail.com

May 23, 1701. Captain William Kidd is hanged at Execution Dock in London. His death sentence cements his legacy as one of history’s most notorious pirates, but he went to the gallows claiming to be an innocent man. And he may have been telling the truth. Nonetheless, his execution began a worldwide ripple effect that would change the high seas forever and ultimately help prosecute one of the most infamous Nazis that ever lived.Special thanks to Richard Zacks, author of The Pirate Hunter: The True Story of Captain Kidd https://amzn.to/2X5Etth.

Oak Island, du vet den där ÖN vid kusten i Nova Scotia, Kanada. Har du hört talas om den? Sägen säger att där ligger en ovärderlig skatt nergrävd. Men var är den, och framförallt vad skulle det vara för "Skatt"? Är det Captain William Kidd's erövringar, är William Shakespeares outgivna manuskript eller ligger självaste Heliga graalen gömd under ytan, nedgrävd av inga mindre än Tempelriddarna själva...! Det finns många teorier om skattens ursprung och vad skatten skulle kunna vara! En sak är säker, detta mysterium är långt ifrån löst. Självklart måste vi, AWTT in och undersöka saken lite närmre. Det är alltså Oak Island som är temat för podd #24. Men vi pratar inte bara skattjakt och tempelriddare, vi diskuterar även med über förare om 9/11, vi bjuder in våra Wanderers till fest?! vi kör natten på museet i New York, är oense om hur en filosofisk fråga skall formuleras och mycket mycket mer! En jävla skatt till avsnitt, LYSSNA!!!

The area of Lower Manhattan below Wall Street is today filled with investment bankers, business people and tourists. But did you know, over 300 years ago, that the same streets were once crawling with pirates? In the early decades of the British colony of New York, the city was quite an appealing destination for pirates and their ships filled with stolen treasure. After all, the port of New York was far away from the supervision of the crown, providing local merchants with ample temptations to do business with the high sea's most notorious criminals. Captain William Kidd is a figure of legend, the most ruthless and bloodthirsty pirate on the planet. And yet, for many years, he was a respectable New York gentleman, with connected friends, a wealthy wife and a sumptuous home on Pearl Street near the original wall of Wall Street. But Kidd sought adventure as a privateer and made a deal with prominent New Yorkers to scour British trading routes for pirates. This is the tale of how a dashing New York sea captain became branded (perhaps unfairly) as one of the most evil men of the ocean. PLUS: Captain Kidd startling connection to New York's Trinity Church! And where in New York City might one find some of Captain Kidd's fabled treasure today?   boweryboyshistory.com   CORRECTION: From the final section — it is Blackbeard the pirate, not Bluebeard the pirate, who is made an example of by the English in 1718.

This week we travel back in time to the 17th Century to discuss Captain William Kidd, who some people say was wrongly accused of being a pirate. We reckon he's pretty pirate-y though.
