Author describes being a little boy when his family ventured onto the island and started living there. This book is so good. My copy has definitely had some life to it. It's not the prettiest book, its old, however the story is amazing and its signed and there's a photograph in the book of the author signing it!! So cool! Read all the details and check out my pictures of what you'll be getting. This book gets a "thumbs up" for so many things but mostly for the conversational style of the author. This is a treasure not only for his family descendants and those who know this island but to anyone who finds biographies interesting when there is adventure involved. Thanks for looking!
