William Dampier...
Wonderful naturalist, apparently the first Westerner to eat lime pickle, inventor of the word "sub-species"... (also introduced to the English language "barbecue" and "avocado")...
Apparently Darwin regarded him very highly, and Dampier's writings were among the few texts he took with him to the Galapgos (Dampier, being supercool, having been there before)...
Oh, and he was a pirate, too. |
