Captain Charles Johnson

Captain Charles Johnson is the British author of the 1724 book "A General History of the Robberies and Murders of the most notorious Pyrates", though his identity remains a mystery. No record of a captain by this name exists. Some scholars have suggested that "Charles Johnson" was actually [Daniel Defoe][1] writing under a pen name, but this is disputed.
