Deftly deciphering documents in colonial archives, questioning editorial practices, sketching maps, and revisiting his own sailing voyages, Buscaglia-Salgado has tracked RamÍrez’s routes, uncovering some of the mysteries surrounding the protagonist and making visible a global historical process.”\u003c\/div\u003e - Arcadio Díaz-Quiñones (Princeton University)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIn 2009, 319 years after its publication, and following over a century of copious scholarly speculation about the work, JosÉ F. Buscaglia is the first scholar to furnish direct and irrefutable proof that the story contained in the \u003ci\u003eInfortunios\/Misfortunes\u003c\/i\u003e is based on the life and times of a man certifiably named Alonso RamÍrez, who was shipwrecked on Herradura Point in the Coast of YucatÁn on Sunday September 18, 1689. This first bilingual edition of the \u003ci\u003eInfortunios\/Misfortunes\u003c\/i\u003e reports the findings of almost two decades of sustained research in pursuit, on land and by sea, of a most elusive historical character who was, as we now can attest with all degree of certainty, the first American known to have circumnavigated the globe. Captured by pirates, shipwrecked, and eventually rescued and sent on his way, this is one man’s story of his unanticipated voyage around the Early Modern world. With transcription, translation, notes, maps, images, and critical essay by Jose F. Buscaglia-Salgado, this Rutgers edition is the most complete and authoritative study on a work that grants us privileged access to the intricacies of early American subjectivity.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cu\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the Footsteps of Alonso RamÍ\u003cbr\u003erez: A decade in pursuit of the most elusive American pirate\u003cbr\u003e Maps and Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Misfortunes of Alonso RamÍ\u003cbr\u003erez\u003cbr\u003e About the translation\u003cbr\u003e To the most excellent gentleman don Gaspar de Sandoval Cerda Silva y Mendoza\u003cbr\u003e Approval of the licentiate [in canonic law] don Francisco de Ayerra Santa MarÍ\u003cbr\u003ea, chaplain of the King our lord in his Royal Convent of JesÚ\u003cbr\u003es MarÍ\u003cbr\u003ea in Mexico [City].\u003cbr\u003e Summary of licenses\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotives he had for leaving his home country.
