Captain Jack Sparrow would shiver his timbers when faced with Sir
Henry Morgan and his savage band of buccaneers. Sacking Porto
Bellow, burning Panama, and even taking on the Spanish armada,
Morgan stopped at nothing to acquire his precious lucre in the
years 1666 to 1672. This vivid account, as told by one of Morgan's
own men and illustrated with engravings from the period, puts the
lie to the idea of the "romantic swashbuckler." This is a brutal,
unforgiving, and essential slice of seafaring history. Thought to
be of Dutch origin, JOHN ESQUEMELING (1645-1707) was a merchant
clerk for the French West India Company before impoverished
circumstances forced him to join "the wicked order of pirates" in
1666.
