5.0 out of 5 stars At least, the only truth, July 7, 2004

By	al (Paris France) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Drakes Treasure of the South Seas (Hardcover)

The Captain says what he has to say, and he is right in what he says... Those who want to know all have to go there, and not wait for all the answers seaten in a rocking chair.
I went there. I dived and I saw the silver...
Now, some people always need glasses to see some things evident. And it's better for all of us who have the courage to go and see by themselves. Good luck to all. A French treasure hunter.

1.0 out of 5 stars La Plata it isn't., March 30, 2004

By	J. Morgan-Roger "Wolstan Dixie" (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is 'vanity published', and it shows.

If you can wade through the laborious, disjointed and labyrinthine style there are some useful nuggets.

Despite the promise of the cover the exact site of Drake's silver dump is not revealed; in effect you are vaguely told which *very* obscure documents to read yourself; but Isla de la Plata is eliminated (he claims it was called that in 1556, but I have been unable to substantiate this due to his confused citations).

It would have been more use to print verbatim the relevant portions of the documents relied on, accurately referenced, a la Penser and Wagner.

It appears 'Darwin Lee Fuller' is a pseudonym for the now dead author, who's photograph appears on the rear cover under his true name, with no explanation. (...)
