  Daniel Defoe's fifth novel, Colonel Jack is the supposed autobiography of an English gentleman who begins life as a child of the London streets. He and his two brothers are brought up as pickpockets and highwaymen, but Colonel Jack seeks to improve himself. Historical appendices relate to eighteenth-century Virginia and Maryland and contemporary crime, punishment, and imprisonment.
