The Real Life Long John. The character of Long John Silver is based on a real-life buddy of Robert Louis Stevenson's (sadly, not a real-life pirate): William Ernest Henley. Like Stevenson, Henley was a writer of renown. Also like Stevenson, Henley spent much of his life sick with tuberculosis.

‘I think it is very likely that Robert Louis Stevenson was influenced by their story.’ Mr Amrhein’s findings, which are detailed in his book, Treasure Island: The Untold Story, undermines the theory that Stevenson modelled Long John Silver – who was famously portrayed on- screen by Robert Newton – on William Henley.

It's in part because of Long John Silver's popularity as a character that Treasure Island has become the most popular, most enduring pirate novel ever. Long John Silver seems like the classic pirate because he's the character whom all other pirates in popular culture are based on.

This is a multibrand fast food restaurant featuring both KFC and Long John Silver's. Even though its address is on Rockvale Road, you can enter the parking area from US-30 and that is more convenient. I went to this restaurant for Long John Silver's so this review is based on that alone. I find the fried fish at co-branded restaurants to be inferior to that at standalone Long John Silver's. I'm not sure why that is.
