The Buccaneers of America is a book
written by Alexander O. Exquemelin. He was a surgeon who sailed with Henry Morgan in his buccaneering days. The
first part of the book explains the plant and animal life of
Hispaniola and the island of Tortuga. Hispaniola is
now modern day Haiti and the Dominican Republic. It also describes the
landscape as well as the fort on Tortuga. The second part describes
how the buccaneers came about and some the raids they were involved
in, and the last part shares in detail about the raid on Panama by
Henry Morgan. A very interesting read with a lot of great
information. It also talks about the French Buccaneer FranccoisL'Olonnais, and his exploits as well as the attack on Maracaibo and Gibraltar. A must read for the Buccaneer at Heart! You can get a
