Dear Samuel Clemens: Message In A Bottle

Dear Samuel Clemens details the history surrounding the recoveries of treasure and artifacts at four American historical sites, along with the parallels, coincidences and facts that link them together. Randy connects a vintage, sunken, Mississippi riverboat at Cape Girardeau; the legendary Spanish shipwreck, Atocha, located near the Marquesas; the Mark Twain boyhood home at Hannibal, Missouri; and the 1715 Spanish treasure fleet shipwrecks off the Treasure Coast of Florida. Randy has worked all of these sites either as a treasure diver of an excavator. This book is comprised of sixty messages, duplicates of the same messages which he placed in sixty bottles. Each bottle was launched into the Mississippi River either at Hannibal or Cape Girardeau. In the bottled messages, Randy writes to and shares with Mark Twain what the historical sites have revealed to him as he takes the reader along on the journey. The remarkable ties between the world’s greatest treasure hunter…Mel Fisher and America’s most notable author…Samuel Clemens are at the core of these messages. The sites, histories, and revelations are uniquely delivered throughout this book, often in a deeply personal manner.
