tells the action-packed story of the descendants of Cæsar living near Cæsar's Creek and other inlets between Elliot and Old Rhodes Key who chase off treasure hunters looking for Cæsar's lost fortune. Legend has it that Black Cæsar was an African slave-turned-pirate who operated in the waters off south Florida during the early eighteenth century. He used the mangrove swamps as his personal haven until he joined forces with the notorious English pirate Blackbeard, and ultimately died an ignominious death by hanging as a result of this acquaintance.
