eBooks - Literature - Modern Fiction - Roger L. Johnson - Dead Man's Chest: The Sequel to Treasure Island
| While searching through the 1919 Parliamentary records for quotes by Winston Churchill, U.S. Navy Commander Roger Johnson happened upon a seventy-page, handwritten transcript of a Royal Admiralty hearing, which included a description of events that matched in every detail the novel Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. Sandwiched between the testimony of Royal Navy Lieutenant James Hawkins, Dead Man's Chest is a classic pirate yarn that begins with Long John Silver's escape from the merchantman Hispaniola at Puerta Plata, and culminates with the search for a king's ransom of Spanish gold and jewels from Dead Man's Chest: The remaining two-thirds of the treasure described in Stevenson's novel, and inspiration for the sailor' ballad of the same name. |
