1659 John Smith Voyages & Legend of Captain Jones by Welsh Lloyd GIANTS Pirates
David Lloyd was a 17th-century Welsh clergyman who is best remembered for his epic poem 'The Legend of Captain Jones'. This piece of Welsh literature tells the tale of Captain Jones, his sea adventures, slaying giants, battles and wars with the Turks, imprisonment, and daring escapes! It has long been assumed that the satirical nature of this poem was directly aimed at the famed English explorer John Smith with historians citing many similarities to Jones's adventures to those that Smith encountered (Modarelli).
