Frank Pearson : ウィキペディア英語版 | Frank Pearson
Frank Pearson (1837–22 December 1899) was an Australian bushranger, operating under the pseudonym ''Captain Starlight.'' Pearson understandably claimed he was also the inspiration for a fictional figure of the same name: the character Captain Starlight in Rolf Boldrewood's novel, of 1882–1883, ''Robbery Under Arms''. Boldrewood, who presumably had some insight into the matter, denied the claim and stated that the character was a composite of several bushrangers of the era, including Henry Readford and Thomas Smith, alias ''Captain Midnight''. The cattle thief Readford did not use a pseudonym himself and had no connection with Captain Starlight until the author indicated a possible influence. ==Early life== Pearson claimed he was born in London and that he had arrived in Australia in 1866 however, he may have arrived in a different year under the surname ''Arnold''.
