Alexandre Olivier Exquemelin, a native of Flanders, first came to America in 1666 as an employé of the West India Company. He was sold for thirty crowns
to a pirate, and lived as a pirate for eight years, until 1674, when he escaped to Europe on a Dutch vessel. He made three
other voyages to America, and was present at the capture of Carthagena in 1697.
The first three parts of Exquemelin’s work were written by him in the
Dutch language and published in Amsterdam in 1678. They were translated into Spanish by Alonso de Buena Maison and published in
Cologne in 1681. A French translation was made by de Frontignières from the Spanish version and published in Paris in 1686.
The fourth part (in volume II in this edition) was originally written by an English buccaneer, Basil Ringrose.
Raveneau de Lussan, b. 1663, French buccaneer, decided on piracy as a career in 1684, and joined the troop of Laurent de Graff. The first edition
of his
Journal was published in Paris in 1688, and was attached for the first time to Exquemelin’s work in 1705.
Charles Johnson, fl. 1724-1736, first published
A General History of the Robberies and Murders of the most notorious Pyrates in 1724. Its first appearance in France was as an appendix to Exquemelin’s
Histoire des Aventuriers in 1726.
