Editor's Note:
KIDNAPPED BY PIRATES is a swashbuckling adventure, based on the true story of my great-great grandfather, a 14 year-old Quaker, Charles Tilton, who was kidnapped alone by a rogue band of Jean Lafitte's pirates when they attacked the New England whaler he was apprenticed on in 1814. They sank the ship and took the terrified boy in chains to the Gulf of Mexico & on to Galveston Island, just off the Texas Coast. The two evil captains proudly presented the boy as a ransom prize to Lafitte but, to their shock, the French buccaneer was enraged that they had attacked an American vessel & sailors. He ordered them hung &, rescuing Charles, ordered that no harm come to him under penalty of death. Then Lafitte offered the boy a job as cabin boy on his ship. The audacious teenager accepted &, during the next 6 years, had many astonishing adventures with the leader & his new friends! Between 1814 and 1820, when Lafitte had his "Campeche" base with a thousand men on Galveston Island, Charles sailed with him and shared in the adventures-- acquiring and learning to sail his own ship,discovering treasure, rescuing another boy (who would become his life-long friend) from the sea, and raiding the hated Spanish Galleons for the U.S. Government. President James Madison had a contract with Lafitte, allowing him to rid the Gulf waters of the dreaded war ships as they returned to Spain filled with gold from Mexico. He gave the famous privateer permission to keep all the treasures taken from the Spanish galleons, & Campeche soon became a bustling, rich trading town. In 1820, when Mexico became free from Spain, the government no longer needed Lafitte's services, so the U.S. Navy sailed to Galveston Island to expell Lafitte's band. The leader split his schooners among his officers, one of whom was 20 year-old Charles, who now had risen to the rank of boat swain. Then he had the men set fire to Campeche and, bidding his friends goodbye, sailed away toward Mexico. All of the men, including Charles, scattered so they would not be arrested by the Navy officials. And so began another adventure: Charles and his 3 friends sailed the schooner Lafitte had given him up the nearby Trinity River and into a hidden lake in the woods of the Texas coastal frontier. They sadly scuttled the ship and buried their gold beside Lost Lake, as Charles named it. The 4 friends then set off on different paths with all the gold they could carry, vowing to meet at the place one year from the day. Charles applied for a Mexican Land Grant near Lost Lake and then began the long trip back home on horseback. After the journey to New Hampshire, Charles arrived in New Haven, shocking his family and friends, who had thought him dead for years. The boy who had been kidnapped 6 years ago returned grown and wealthy. But Charles' heart remained on the Texas frontier, so he later returned to his land and more adventures. This book is based on the true story of Charles Tilton and the famous Jean Lafitte. Lafitte loved him like the son he never had as they shared both good & dangerous times together. Here is another view of the famous privateer, often described as cruel and hard in history books. This story tells of a kinder, gentler side of him than we have previously known. It also exposes a true mystery about Lafitte's old schooner & cannons, which are still hidden beneath Lost Lake. Enjoy this adventure & mystery story! I searched many historical records & recorded much oral history handed down in our family. Kidnapped by Pirates is appropriate for 4th graders to adults. Evelyn Hilton The sequel, ANNABELLE AND THE GREAT GALVESTON HURRICANE OF 1900, is based on the true story of Charles Tilton's daughter, Laura, and her family's efforts to survive the deadliest storm ever to hit Am
