Wafer also provides insights into the Spanish colonization of the area and the impact it had on the local population. The book is considered an important historical document and a valuable resource for scholars interested in the history of Central America and the Caribbean. It is also a fascinating read for anyone interested in the exploration of new lands and cultures.1903. Wafer was an English naval surgeon who deserted to join the buccaneers. This volume recalls his adventures and observations of his expeditions to the Isthmus, the western coast of South America and the West Indies from 1680 to 1688. While crossing the Isthmus of Panama after the taking of Santa Maria, Wafer was injured and left in the care of Darien Indians. The Indians took a liking to him, which allowed him to gather material for this book. He was picked up by William Dampier, the English explorer and buccaneer. His book today is still recognized as a standard reference on the area.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
