Pirates in Kentucky is the story of a gang of river pirates that terrorized the Ohio River in the 1790s. While central Kentucky was thriving and modernizing in post-Revolution America, a terrifying borderland existed along the Ohio that was a haven for horse thieves, counterfeiters, and even pirates.
