Book Reviews of A Pirate of Exquisite Mind: The Life of William Dampier: Explorer, Naturalist, and Buccaneer
Book Review: A rollicking good read
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was given to me as a gift, and it is such a marvelously good read that I heartily recommend it to all those who enjoy a ripping yarn. Dampier was a man of many parts, a traveler and adventurer who played a role in the history of a number of countries, observed their cultures, and was an important cartographer whose maps were used well into the 20th century. Although Dampier is a well-known figure in Australian and British history, it is surprising that he is not remembered for the role he played in U.S. history. William Dampier went everywhere, did everything and met many fascinating characters along the way. Here's a story of a remarkable life that can only enrich your own.
