About the Author
Michael Scott (1789-1835) spent much of his life in the West Indies during one of the most dynamic periods in British colonial history. A plantation manager and merchant in Jamaica, his knowledge of Caribbean pirates was first-hand.
During his years in the West Indies, Tom Cringle's Log took shape in Scott's mind as a series of maritime and tropical adventure sketches. Later, after they were published anonymously in Blackwood's Magazine, the tales were melded together as an exciting novel.
Review
"Said to rank with or surpass . . . Cooper and Marryat." —The World's Best Books
"One of the most accurate pictures of West Indian life, both afloat and on shore, during the early part of the nineteenth century." —Reader's Digest of Books
