Download a free copy of the Last Will of C S Lewis (1898-1963).
- Clive Staples Lewis ('Jack' to his friends) was an Irish-born British novelist best known for writing The Chronicles of Narnia, The Screwtape Letters, and The Space Trilogy.

- Lewis severed ties with the Church of Ireland in his youth, but due in large part to the influence of Tolkien and other friends, Lewis returned to Christianity at age 32. His newfound faith had a profound influence on his work, as is quite obvious from the Narnia Chronicles.
- C.S. Lewis died on November 22, 1963 - the same day that John F. Kenedy was assassinated, so news of his death was largely ignored by the media.

His achievements are the result of a combination of fine seamanship, superior surveying and cartographic skills, courage in exploring dangerous locations (such as traveling Antarctic waters and face-to-face dealings with Maori warriors), an ability to lead men in adverse conditions, and a willingness to exceed the orders given him by the Admiralty.
- Cook died in Hawaii in a fight with Hawaiians during his third exploratory voyage in the Pacific in 1779.

Charles Darwin Last Will and Testament
Download a free copy of the Last Will and Testament of Charles Darwin (1809-1882).
