The Buccaneers of America
Alexandre Olivier Exquemelin (1645-1707) was known by several names due to poor transcriptions of his name, including John Esquemeling, among others. Despite how much he wrote chronicling the history of piracy in America, not much is clear about Exquemelin. It is believed that he was born in France, but then settled in Holland because he was a Huguenot, then later lived in Tortuga, working for the French West India Company, served as a surgeon in Amsterdam, then served as a surgeon in the Caribbean. He was said to be a part of Henry Morgan's pirate band, and some of their exploits are accounted for in The Buccaneers of America. Yet, not even The Buccaneers is a clear historical record. The work underwent many editions and translates across various languages, from the original Dutch to Spanish, French and English. This is perhaps the most useful version, and the new edition is dedicated to Russ Charvonia, who likes a good story and works within a beach umbrella's shadow of the most storied slice of the California coast.

The Pirates of Panama; Or, the Buccaneers of America
Alexandre Olivier Exquemelin (also spelled Esquemeling, Exquemeling, or Oexmelin and who also wrote as John Esquemeling) (c. 1645-1707) was a French writer. Born about 1645, it is likely that he was a native of Harfleur, France, who on his return from buccaneering settled in Holland, possibly because he was a Huguenot. In 1666 he was engaged by the French West India Company and went to Tortuga, where he stayed for three years. There he enlisted with the buccaneers, in particular with the band of Henry Morgan, whose confidante he was, probably as a barber-surgeon, and remained with them until 1674. Shortly afterwards he returned to Europe; but he was later once again in the Caribbean as his n...
THE BUCCANEERS OF AMERICA
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.

Harry Morgan's Way
'Morgan the Pirate' is associated with the trappings of pirate living - skull and crossbones, pieces of eight, almost 'with a yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum'. Yet if this was true, why did Charles II knight him and why was he given the governorship of Jamaica? In this authoritative biography, Dudley Pope lays to rest the popularised image.
Pirates of our Coast
Seit der Antike schon ist die Piraterie Teil der Seefahrt. Vor allem Völker, die an Küstengebieten leben, betrieben diese Art des organisierten Raubes auf See. Die erste dokumentierte Piraterie stammt aus dem Jahr 1400 v. Christi. Daher ist es kaum verwunderlich, dass sich um dieses Thema Sagen und Mythen ranken. Dieses Buch ist eine Sammlung spannender und packender Geschichten der Seeräuberei und liegt in englischer Sprache vor.
