Title: A Great Read and a Good Reference
Product review: This account of the life and times of William Dampier is refreshingly detailed. The authors successfully described the 17th Century world in all of its gritty reality. With these hard and unforgiving times as a backdrop, the reader can realize what Dampier was up against and how only an exquisite mind could accomplish what he did, under those circumstances.I heartily recommend this read for anyone interested in seafaring in the 1600's.
