James M. Gray

Memoirs of Juan Gomez, Florida's Last Known Pirate James M. Gray

This book is a copy of a transcript of a personal conversation as told verbatim by Juan Gomez to Mr. Oliver H. Parker, and written down by Mr. John D. King; who accompanied him to the home of Juan Gomez for an exclusive sit down interview before his death. During Mr. Parker's many visits with Juan, Juan described his life as a pirate and provided Mr. Parker with many drawings to locations he describes as 'treasure locations', where he personally knew certain treasures were buried by pirates with whom he served. This material has never before been made available to the general public, but was passed on by Mr. Fred de La Morton, a renowned historical researcher and friend of Mr. Oliver and Mr. Parker, to James M. Gray; Director of the Florida Historical Research Foundation, to preserve its authenticity, the material content has not been retyped or changed; only the pages were cleaned up, and left exactly as Mr. King wrote it down.
