Ralph Delahaye Paine - The Book of Buried Treasure (audio Book)
https://archive.org/details/bookofburiedtreasure_2103_librivox
Read in English by Tony Posante
Described by the author as: BEING A TRUE HISTORY OF THE GOLD, JEWELS, AND PLATE OF PIRATES, GALLEONS, ETC., WHICH ARE SOUGHT FOR TO THIS DAY. Ralph Delahaye Paine (August 28, 1871 – April 29, 1925) was an American journalist and author popular in the early 20th century. Paine's book tells of pirates, heroes, scoundrels, and treasure seekers creating, stealing, seeking, and sometimes finding great wealth. It also tells of treasures yet undiscovered (as of 1911, but perhaps to this day). |

Review
https://asphs.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Review-of_-Fabio-L%C3%B3pez-L%C3%A1zaro-_i_The-Misfortunes-of-Alonso-Ram%C3%ADr.pdf
https://digitalcommons.bowdoin.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=&httpsredir=1&article=1002&context=dissidences
1690 book by Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora, a Mexican writer retelling the story of Alonso RamÃrez, a Puerto Rican sailor from his first sailing as a ship's boy in 1675, to his arrival at Yucatan, Mexico.
At one point thought to be fictional, José Francisco Buscaglia-Salgado and the historian Fabio López-Lázaro have demonstrated the existence of RamÃrez and the accuracy of the account of experiences with pirates, including William Dampier and Duncan Mackintosh.
Among the most consequential findings of Buscaglia's research,
the shipwreck site and the remains of RamÃrez's frigate in Punta Herradura, Yucatán, Mexico.
The only extensive Spanish eyewitness account of pirates during the period in world history (1650–1750) and Latin America's first novel.
Alonso RamÃrez is the first known American to circumnavigate the world.
Described the incredible adventures of a poor Spanish American carpenter who was taken captive by British pirates near the Philippines and forced to work for them for two years. After circumnavigating the world, he was freed and managed to return to Mexico. |
