Captain 'James Hind' (sometimes referred to as 'John Hind') (baptised 1616 - 1652) was a 17th century highwayman (who is said to have only robbed Parliamentarians) and Royalist rabble rouser during the English Civil War. He was hanged at Worcester in 1652[1]. He was the subject of a biography ''The English Gusman'' by George Fidge (London 1652), and 16 pamphlets detailing his exploits.
