E-text prepared by Suzanne Lybarger and the Booksmiths at http://www.eBookForge.net
"The Pirates of Panama" by A. O. Exquemelin is a historical account written in the late 17th century. This work recounts the thrilling adventures and daring exploits of notorious pirates, particularly focusing on the famed buccaneer Sir Henry Morgan and other freebooters of the Spanish Main. Through a blend of firsthand observations and exciting narratives, the book provides insight into the world of Caribbean piracy and the tumultuous interactions between pirates and colonial powers. At the start of this narrative, the author introduces himself and his journey as part of the West India Company of France, sailing towards the island of Tortuga in 1666. He describes the challenges faced at sea, such as storms and encounters with English frigates. The opening chapters set a vivid scene of maritime life, detailing customs among sailors and the geography of Tortuga, which would soon become a hub for piracy. The text hints at the hardships the author experienced as he transitions from a servant of the company to a participant in the buccaneering lifestyle, paving the way for more exciting tales of piracy to unfold.
