1678
The Pirates of Panama, written by A. O. Exquemelin and first published in 1678, is a historical account detailing the adventures of notorious pirates, particularly Sir Henry Morgan, in the Spanish Main. Originally written in Dutch, the book provides firsthand observations of Caribbean piracy and the interactions between pirates and colonial powers. Exquemelin's narrative, based on his experiences as a barber-surgeon among the buccaneers, is significant for being one of the earliest comprehensive histories of piracy in the Americas, influencing perceptions of buccaneers across Europe.

“As soon as these pirates have taken a prize, they immediately set ashore the prisoners, detaining only some few, for their own help and service: whom, also, they release, after two or three years. They refresh themselves at one island or another, but especially at those on the south of Cuba; here they careen their vessels, while some hunt, and others cruise in canoes for prizes.””
— A. O. Exquemelin
