RE: Who was the King of Laysan Island? 10 Amazing Facts from the Life of Max Schlemmer
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, there were some larger than life characters back then. I hadn't made the Jules Verne connection, but I like that.
In the sense that Jules Verne created these characters who had awesome adventures in remote areas, like in the books The Mysterious Island and Two Years' Vacation which were one of my favorite books as a child. In both books the adventure takes place on an island.
Reading your article I felt the same like when I was a child reading those books. It's a very special feeling.
