The incredible true story of William 'Bully' Hayes, the so-called 'Pirate of the Pacific' in the 19th century; the myth and the man. The story of Bully Hayes - so-called 'Pirate of the Pacific' - is known throughout the Pacific, from the US to Australia and all points in between. He became the inspiration for a variety of fictional characters, writers from Robert Louis Stevenson to James A Michener and Frank Clune have used the Hayes legend, films were made based on his life (one starring Boris Karloff, another Douglas Fairbanks), and his name adorns bars and hotels all over the Pacific. But the truth is both less noble and more intriguing than the myth. This 2017 HarperCollins Paperback is in good condition.
