About this ebook
Colonel Jack explores the story of an English gentleman who begins life on the London streets. Jack and his brothers grew up being pickpockets and bandits, but he desired to change this and be better. Abducted and brought to America, he becomes an indentured servant and then a caretaker of plantations in Maryland, after which his story takes one dramatic turn. Through Jack's story, Daniel Defoe offered a broad look at the social and political geography of his times.
