About This Book

The narrator preserves a family manuscript that recounts a buried treasure on a small North Carolina island and the maritime life that concealed it. Presented as stories related by Jonathan Landstone, the narrative follows his grandfather’s recollections of Capt. John Redfield, a seaman who consorted with Charles Vane and served as a trusted counselor to Captain Kidd. It blends nautical adventure, colonial raids on Spanish shipping, and local folklore about a blink-and-hide marsh island, with a subsequent episode that promises to reveal the island’s deeper mystery.
