A military man, was he?

As far as I am aware he was not a military man and there was no war involved. That is not his claim to fame.

Sorry none of the guesses are close. He was not known for being religious, nor any of the other ideas presented.

A Clue: this man was only in his 40's when he died.

Hmm. How about an author? Henry Fielding perchance?

Sorry Jake not an author, but an author had some hand in this man's claim to fame.

No not a ship's surgeon, but an important member of the crew and not the captain.

You've got it Tobeyone, Alexander Selkirk the man who was dumped on Juan Fernandez Island, 600 miles from the nearest land by the Captain of the ship on which he was Navigator. The book by Daniel Defoe, Robinson Crusoe, was based on this incident.
So who the heck are you?
