John Esquemeling (better known as Alexandre Olivier Exquemelin) (c.
1645 1707) was a French barber-surgeon best remembered for this
classic account of the buccaneer pirates of the West Indies. After
travelling to Tortuga in 1666, Esquemeling joined the buccaneer
company of Henry Morgan, one of the most successful and notorious
privateers of the period. This volume, first published in English
in 1684, and now reissued from the 1893 reprint, contains
Esquemeling's detailed account of Morgan's dramatic exploits and
adventures. Covering the period 1668 1674, Esquemeling recounts in
fascinating detail Morgan's infamous attacks on Spanish-controlled
ports in Cuba, Hispaniola and Costa Rica, and vividly describes the
sack of the city of Panama and its aftermath in 1671. This work was
the first account published in English of the lives of the
buccaneers, and remains one of the most important sources for
descriptions of seventeenth-century piracy.
