1903. Wafer was an English naval surgeon who deserted to join the
buccaneers. This volume recalls his adventures and observations of
his expeditions to the Isthmus, the western coast of South America
and the West Indies from 1680 to 1688. While crossing the Isthmus
of Panama after the taking of Santa Maria, Wafer was injured and
left in the care of Darien Indians. The Indians took a liking to
him, which allowed him to gather material for this book. He was
picked up by William Dampier, the English explorer and buccaneer.
His book today is still recognized as a standard reference on the
area.
