From Patriot to Pirate

The Outlaw Life of Sam Mason

About this book

From soldier to judge, to pirate and outlaw, Sam Mason's life is a testament to early America's turbulent, unpredictable frontier.
Sam Mason carved out a life of adventure and infamy that took him from soldier to pirate in late 18th century America. Mason fought in both the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary War-battles that shaped early America. After his military service, he traded in his rifle for a judge's gavel, settling into what seemed a respectable life. However, he was soon inexplicably drawn into the world of counterfeiting, an enterprise that soon led him back to the riverbanks he once defended.
Mason gained infamy as a pirate along the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers and the wilderness of the Natchez Trace near New Orleans, preying on travelers and traders alike with a band of ruthless men. His reputation and influence spread as he used his understanding of the law to maneuver through jurisdictional gaps and stay just out of authorities' reach. His exploits made him one of the most feared-and hunted-criminals in early American history, cementing his legacy as a cunning rogue who mastered the borderlands between law and lawlessness.
