Captain Kidd's Golden Bible?

Mike, is there any corroboration to the "It is said that Joseph at an early age could read, but not write; and when quite young committed these lines to memory from the story of Captain Kidd, the notorious pirate, which seemed to give him great pleasure," by Ellen E. Dickinson?

In addition to Huggins’s essay, Dialogue also published Larry Morris’s critique in vol. 36, No. 4, Winter 2003. In Summer 2006, I published a letter to the editor in which I said: “I agree with Larry Morris that Ronald V. Huggins’s essay … should have been more critical of the sources, but Morris’s critique … did little to improve that situation. While Morris is correct in assessing the sources in terms of firsthand/secondhand testimony and early/late composition, applying these standards is not as mechanical and automatic as he implies.” Mike should look these items up, as well as Ashurst-McGee’s response to me in a subsequent issue to gain a more appreciation for the sources and issues involved. In my opinion, Huggins’s essay was too uncritical of the sources and Morris and McGee were too restrictive.
