The Misfortunes of Alonso Ramírez

The Misfortunes of Alonso Ramírez (Spanish: Infortunios de Alonso Ramírez) is a 1690 book by Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora, a Mexican writer retelling the story of Alonso Ramírez, a Puerto Rican sailor from his first sailing as a ship's boy in 1675, to his arrival at Yucatan, Mexico, after which he served as a sailor based on Cavite, Philippines. At one point thought to be fictional, José Francisco Buscaglia-Salgado and the historian Fabio López-Lázaro have demonstrated the existence of Ramírez and the accuracy of the account of experiences with pirates, including William Dampier and Duncan Mackintosh.
