Summary "Perseverance Island; Or, The Robinson Crusoe of the Nineteenth Century" by Douglas Frazar is a novel written in the late 19th century. This adventure story follows a character who, after a series of maritime disasters, finds himself shipwrecked on a deserted island in the South Pacific. Drawing on his ingenuity and skills, he attempts to survive and thrive in this unfamiliar environment, focusing on themes of resilience, resourcefulness, and the indomitable human spirit. The opening of the narrative introduces the protagonist and provides the backstory of his life as a sailor, detailing his aspirations for adventure that culminate in joining the ill-fated expedition aboard the schooner "Good Luck." After navigating treacherous seas and facing storms, the crew suffers devastating losses, leading to the shipwreck.
