Summary "Our Pirate Hoard" by Thomas A. Janvier is a humorous novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a family legacy of a pirate ancestor, whose rumored hidden treasure instills hope and adventure in the hearts of his descendants. The narrative captures a blend of lighthearted comedy and the quest for fortune, as the main character embarks on a journey to uncover the mystery left behind by his great-great-great-uncle. The plot follows the protagonist as he marries Susan and decides to move to Lewes to investigate the legend of his ancestor's buried treasure. With the help of Old Jacob and his cousin Gregory, they set out to locate the anchorage of the pirate's ship, the "Martha Ann". As misadventures unfold and the search yields more questions than answers, the story takes a surprising turn at the end. In a comedic twist, it is revealed that the true family treasure is not gold or silver, but a thoughtful legacy from Gregory, who has instead used his fortune to better the lives of others while secretly ensuring that Susan and her husband benefit from it, showcasing the true meaning of wealth.
