Verne did write "Journey to the Center
of the Earth".  I know this is a real stretch for this theme, but didn't • Verne
also write a story about a circa 1900 mission to the moon?  Maybe it was
Doyle...I am not sure.  Does anybody know?  I bet Bruce does.

What?  Because I was alive when they wrote...?!?  ;-)

From Earth to the Moon.  I don't know when the story takes place, but I • believe
it was written around 1870, possibly earlier.  The only Verne book I have is
Mysterious Island, primarily because it was illustrated by N.C. Wyeth.

Hey Bruce sorry to offend.  Now that I read that statement again I can't help
but laugh because it does sound that way.  I was rather trying to compliment
your impressive amount of knowledge on a variety of subjects.  And I was
right, sure enough you knew it.  By the way what is the Mysterious Island
about?  It sure sounds cool.

Always of fan of your encyclopedic wisdom,
Mark L

I knew the way you meant it, I was just having some fun. (Note smiley face)

Rather than explain the book, let me recommend the movie, Mysterious Island.
Ray Harryhausen special effects (back when he was just about the only person
doing that kind of stuff).  Captain Nemo returns!  One of my very favorite
adventure movies when I was a kid.
