Catalogue Note
"This work may be considered a buccaneering classic. With William Dampier as pilot, Captain Woodes Rogers' privateering expedition set sail from Bristol. After sailing down the coast of Brazil and rounding Cape Horn, he made for the deserted island of Juan Fernandez, due to a severe storm. There, Rogers rescued the celebrated Alexander Selkirk... who has been immortalized as the prototype for Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. An account of his true adventures is given. The expedition then cruised the coast of Peru, taking various prizes, reached California, and crossed the Pacific to Asia." (Hill)
