RE: Who was the King of Laysan Island? 10 Amazing Facts from the Life of Max Schlemmer

in #history7 years ago

That was one awesome story, it was almost like being a child again and reading about a Jules Verne character. I was kind of sad to read about the ecological disaster the human brought to the island but things like this happened a lot back then.
I hope you will write more articles like this. Cheers man!

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.
