The Buccaneers of America

Ahoy Mates! This here time be about the holiday season for buccaneers and landlubbers alike! So before I begin Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all you scallywags!
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 free downloaded copy from Underthecrossbones.com or buy it from several other book stores, including Amazon.com. Get your Copy today!
