BUCCANEERS OF AMERICA (1684)
(www.tortuga.myweb.nl)

   A classic.  Full text is available if you Google this title.
   OED does not cite it for "Buccaneer," but 22 hits are from "Bucaniers" of America.  The book is extremely rich in information that could be cited--particularly the first chapters, which describe the land.
   It contains our first "dough-boy," but OED dates it to 1685.
