The Buccaneers Of America; A. O. Exquemelin, The Folio Society, 1st thus, 1972. 194 pp., frontis., + 9 other illustrations & 3 maps. “Comprising A Pertinent And Truthful Description Of The Principal Acts Of Depredation And Inhuman Cruelty Committed By The English And French Buccaneers Against The Spaniards In America. Written by a. O. Exquemelin Who Himself, Of Necessity, Was Present At All These Acts Of Plunder”. Qtr. blue calf; silver lettering & black devices. Silver birch effect boards with black devices; brown slip-case. 26cm x 16cm. The work of Alexandre Oliver Exquemelin (c.1645-c.1707) was originally published by Ten Hoorn in Amsterdam in 1678. The work was later translated into German (1679), Spanish (1682) and English (1684). Little is known with any certainty about the author of one of the most important source-books of 17th century piracy. Born about 1645 it seems likely that Exquemelin was French, who on his return from buccaneering settled in Holland, possibly because he was a Huguenot. While serving in the French West Indies in the late 1660's, he enlisted with the buccaneers, probably as a barber-surgeon, and remained with them until 1674. His name later appears on the muster-roll as a surgeon in the attack on Cartagena in 1697. Many editions have appeared down the centuries; this is one of the most attractive, complete with slip-case. Near Fine (few very slight marks on blue leather) in near fine slip case (few very faint marks on rear). Inside as new
