    This was one of the books that filled my imagination during childhood. I just loved it. I read it more than once and in a way I lived the story every time I reread it.

      For me, then, a boy growing up in the small Brazilian town of Eldorado - SP (the name of the city evokes another hidden treasure story) it made no sense to distinguish fiction from reality. Stevenson's book was and still is fantastic, but it doesn't contain magic just a description of a sequence of plausible facts (even if invented).

      Stevenson's years in Samoa left a lasting legacy - he was given the Samoan name of Tusitala - the Teller of Tales - and is buried there on the mount above his house Vailima.

    "A General History of Pyrates" written in the early 1700s by Daniel Defoe under a pseudonym is actually the basis for a VAST majority of "pirate fiction" over the years, not Stevenson's "Treasure Island", as even he was inspired/influenced by the old popular book, as it remained VERY popular in the centuries since it was written. Defoes' book is basically a compilation of recollections and "true" accounts of the various different piratical figures of ranging infamy in the Caribbean during the "Golden Age" of piracy. You see, even back then, 300+ years ago, there was A LOT of fascination with piracy, as they were often viewed as "folk heroes" or what we would call "rock stars", or "rebels without a cause". The Scottish Captain William Kidd is often famously credited with burying his loot as he revealed during his trial before execution, but hiding one's valuables in creative ways was and still is practiced by many people, it just doesn't get talked about that often, thus it's highly likely the idea of a pirates' "buried treasure" isn't exclusive to the realm of fiction. One-legged pirates weren't invented by Stevenson either, as it is written in the old "pyrates' code" that any crew member who loses a limb in battle gets reimbursed, each limb having different value, legs being listed separate from arms, hands, fingers, and eyes; if it wasn't a matter of importance/prevalence, it wouldn't have been included in the centuries old document. Stevenson also didn't invent pets being on pirate ships, as it was common practice for a ships' crew to take on pets like exotic birds, dogs, and monkeys; dogs on board ships mainly served as a form of pest control in killing any rats/mice, and U.S. President Andrew Jackson, while not a "pirate" was well known for his talking pet parrot, who infamously cursed all the time, even at his funeral, and Jackson was long before Stevenson was even born.

      These characters were often helped, and well thought of, as they could be quite generous when visiting comparetavely remote/poor regions where theyd need to hire expertise (repairs/supplies). Cornwall (England) could be first port of call and extremely poor back then. A place very friendly to anyone paying well and with plenty of links to the maritime - skills and personel.

    Stevenson came to Monterey to be with Fanny, not San Francisco. Many believe the seeds for Treasure Island were planted during his time there, and while on his honeymoon in Calistoga, staying at an abandoned mine called the Silverado.

    Excellent back-history and follow-through theory of R.L. Stevenson! For those that doubt 'this could happen...there would be written record', keep in mind, you aren't dealing with an almost-thoughtless purchase of a lottery ticket here. Those who are intelligent and 'stumble upon' information that leads them into treasure hunting, RARELY tell ANYONE 'if they found it', if they even admit they were looking. Personally, I think RLS knew that if it ever came out that he had FOUND the treasure once pilfered from the Church, he KNEW that the Church, still in existence, would demand their relics back as 'stolen goods'...his motivation for silence was to protect his family, compounded by an unexpected death (that he didn't see coming, because he wasn't having a fit of consumption at the time)...justifying 'no written record', and generally covered up by the fact that he DID have personal wealth by the time he found the treasure, no one new or considered 'is he over-spending his actual income?'

    Highly speculative and poorly researched. The use of Thor Heyerdahl's famous raft trip as evidence of the route a fleeing ship would have taken when sailing from the same harbor is ridiculous. Thor's raft was towed 50 miles out to sea to begin with to escape the direction the initial currents would have taken him anyway. Apparently whoever put this together didn't do any homework on that part of it at least.

    so how can it be a "Desert" Island if it's full of tropical trees and plants 🤷🏼‍♂ that would be "Deserted" Island if it's uninhabited and you call yourselves "World History " Channel 🤣 😂

      The word "desert" meaning "deserted" actually predates the use of the term "desert" meaning " land with little water."

      "deserted" also means "uninhabited".

      Desert means deserted really it has different meanings when used in different terms or times
