Horace MacDonald's career as a Navy SEAL was ended by a hand grenade that nearly tore his leg off. The docs saved his life and even his leg, but they couldn't save his career. Today, this wounded warrior wanders the back roads of America, finding solace in outdoor recreation opportunities while he tries to reacquaint himself with a homeland that has become unfamiliar...even strange...after two decades of fighting to defend her in far off lands. We join Horace for a day of Tarpon fishing in Boca Grande, Florida, on board the flats boat of Captain Hal, a Vietnam veteran fishing charter captain who has befriended Horace. But this day it is not to be. An explosion rips through the sub-tropical Florida morning air, obliterating a nearby fishing boat. Horace breaks off the Tarpon he was fighting so the men can search for survivors in the water. What they find is far more dangerous than a burning oil slick and floating debris.

The author's father kept a WWII journal. It tells an amazing story of his travels, first train ride, first flight, first sight of the desert, the mountains, beautiful Hawaii, and traveling on a huge ship to Hawaii. He went overseas homesick for his girlfriend (the author's mother) - his own mom died while he was in the service. The book is in two parts, one during the war and the second part, afterwards. The island where they were both raised is mentioned all through the book, and their faith and love endured many hardships. Says the author, "My dad was a strong man and God brought him home."

Selection of tales, songs, riddles, proverbs and other items of folklore from seven regional cultures of the U.S.A.

This book, that has been 22 years in the making, is the first printing of the R.A. Miles Collection of the Southwest History from 1831 to 1889. It’s in chronological order by events and dates, and is a true and revealing account of the American history of the Southwest. It is an impartial, sometimes disconcerting, portrayal of the expanding United States westward. History is not always pleasant, but that is how it transpired sometimes in those years, and this book recounts both favorable and adverse events that need to be told.
