Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Länsi-Intian merisissejä" by Frank R. Stockton is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the lives and exploits of notorious pirates, particularly the famous "bukanierit," who operated in the Caribbean during the early modern period. The narrative delves into the daring adventures of these pirates, highlighting key figures, their motivation, and the romanticized perception of their lives. The opening of the work introduces the notion of piracy as an alluring profession, particularly from the perspective of youth, who perceive it as a life of freedom and adventure reminiscent of legendary figures like Robin Hood. The protagonist reflects on romantic notions while contrasting them with the harsh realities faced by historical pirates. Information is provided about the origins of piracy in the Caribbean, notably focusing on the "bukanierit" and their rise amid geopolitical tensions with the Spaniards. As the passage unfolds, it detailed how conditions led to the creation of a pirate brotherhood as these sailors transitioned from mere cattle traders to well-armed marauders against their oppressors.
