This is the true story of Albert W. Hicks, written as a confession and autobiography. Albert W. Hicks (c. 1820 – 1860), also known as Elias W. Hicks, William Johnson, John Hicks, and Pirate Hicks, was a triple murderer, and one of the last people executed for piracy in the United States.[1] His New York based trial, conviction and execution were a major talking point at the time. Cultural historian Rich Cohen, has called him 'the first New York City legendary gangster figure, a bridge between the piracy of old and rise of a new "gangster nation".' Hicks gave a full confession of the murders and his life story, which was published as a book on the day of his execution. Hicks' reason for his crimes were '.the devil took possession of me.'
