Why readers love Lost Cutlass
​
Great story, adventure, hope, close calls, dismay, and triumph.
​
A classic.
​
One of those books that I was sorry to finish as soon as I did.
More than just a high-spirited adventure; it is a journey of self-discovery as well.
Interesting and original.
To think that Galt had so much knowledge of history, sailing, geography, use of language and an understanding of people and behavior way beyond his years at 16 is truly incredible.
It tells you just about everything you need to know about life.
A fun read.
Just delightful.
Loved it!

Preface
You can never predict where the winds of fortune will take you, and it is guaranteed that you will find yourself in the most unlikely places and circumstances.
To testify to this fact, I seat myself beside my yak-butter candle and sharpen my quill in an effort to record all the harrowing and sublime events that have led me from the shores of Newfoundland to the governor’s palace in Tibet.
I do not wish either riches or penury upon anyone, for I have been shown all that lucre and the lack thereof has to offer. But I can heartily recommend enriching oneself with the bounty that the plain world has to offer.
As a case in point, I dip my pen in a stone of India ink and will set forth for you how the events that changed my destiny would prove that the cup of life is never empty, nor is it ever full. For the more one partakes of the world, the less one knows and the fuller one’s life becomes.
December of 1712, two years past, seems like aeons ago, but there the story of my journey begins, my impressions and memories of that fateful eve being ever-present and clear.
