 Rogoziński observes that Morgan is probably the "best-known pirate" because of Exquemelin's book, although, Cordingly writes that Exquemelin bore a grudge over what he saw was Morgan's theft of the bounty from Panama.His experience explains "why he painted such a black picture of Morgan and portrayed him as a cruel and unscrupulous villain," which subsequently affected historians' view of Morgan.Allen observes that, partly because of Exquemelin, Morgan has not been well-served by historians.
