The Buccaneers of America
 

The Buccaneers of America

by Alexander O. Exquemelin

Fascinating chronicle of the bands of plundering sea rovers who roamed the Caribbean and coastlines of Central America in the 17th century. Detailed accounts of shrewd and fearless men, excellent navigators, and blood-thirsty adventurers who frequently committed inhuman acts of cruelty — among them the infamous Henry Morgan.

An excelent first hand account of a former doctor who became an indentured servant (a slave), and then turned buccaneers in mid-late 1600s. First hand account of some of the Carriebans most notorious Buccaneers and raids.
