The first New World monkey and his journey to become the first American astronaut. People forget NASA started with a stolen rocket, a captive scientist, and a poached monkey. For seventy-five years, his story was buried, classified and redacted, until now. In 1938, a pregnant rhesus macaque is poached from the sacred monkeys of the Jakhu Hanuman Temple in Shimla, India, carried halfway around the world, and delivered into the hands of American scientists. Her son is born on the beach of a tiny island off Puerto Rico. His name is Boyo, bearing a spiritual mark linking him to a thousand years of spiritual guardians. His journey carries him from the Caribbean into the strange heart of twentieth-century America, where history, myth, science, war and music, collide. Along the way, Boyo crosses paths with William Faulkner, John Steinbeck, Ed Ricketts, and Wernher von Braun. Pursuing from the shadows is J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI. Files disappear. Names are blacked out. Photographs vanish. Official histories are tidied up. And somewhere along the way, Boyo himself is redacted from history. By 1949, he is a fugitive wanted by the FBI headed for Launch Pad 33. What follows is the buried story of the first New World monkey and his journey to become the first American astronaut. But Monkey Magnolia is not simply a story about putting a monkey on a rocket. Boyo is trickster, survivor, and spiritual touchstone—the inexplicable missing link whose presence reveals something hidden in everyone he encounters. Around him, "historical fact" slips sideways into magical realism, absurdity brushes against tragedy, and some of the twentieth century’s most recognizable figures become witnesses to something history could never quite explain. A Southern Gothic fever dream, part spiritual journey, and part absurdist American tall tale, Monkey Magnolia is history unbent and uncovered—the story finally told as it must have actually happened.©2026 Robert L Robinson II (P)2026 Robert L.
