Based loosely on a true story, author John Langdon weaves a tale of romance and intrigue on the high seas. Jason Smiley Stewart - An Autobiography describes the life of an average man. Although he is born in humble circumstances, he shows how a combination of perseverance and intelligence, aided by a little good fortune, can help any child overcome the disadvantages of a lowly birth status and poor education. If you long for a sense of wonderment in life, read this first volume of a set of three and discover how Jason Smiley Stewart transforms from a callow village boy to a ship's officer in Jason Smiley Stewart - An Autobiography.
