The Last Pirate of New York: A Ghost Ship, a Killer, and the Birth of a Gangster Nation
$20.00 online at Bookshop.org
Charismatic Albert Hicks haunted the dive bars of mid-nineteenth-century Manhattan's Five Points until an 1860 job on an oyster sloop went wrong and the vessel was found listing and empty off Coney Island. Rich Cohen follows Hicks from immigrant poverty through a globe-crossing crime spree to his last flight as New York's last pirate, or its first modern gangster.
