John Amrhein and his team of researchers have discovered details behind the actual events that inspired Robert Louis Stevenson to write Treasure Island. Â The background of this story has been hotly debated for decades. Â And he’s put it all in a book called “Treasure Island: The Untold Story.” Â There’s also a 2nd book called “The Hidden Galleon.” Â You’ll find links to both books below.
This could be a somewhat controversial episode, but John presents some really great points. Â And these true events are a great story in themselves.
In this interview, John goes into great detail about these true events that inspired Treasure Island and I get to mostly shut up and listen. 🙂
Also on the show today, comedy about calling in sick to work from Carlos Rodriguez and the song “May Our Love Live On” from Nashville band Moon and Forty Two.
