    About this ebook

    Seven senior citizens make their marks on history in their own time and in their own place.

    Seven different seniors from different eras, each ensnared in the harsh difficulties of their historical periods which range from ancient Rome to contemporary America, dramatically show a common link of values that bolster them with courage and dignity as they struggle to not only survive but prevail over their terrible problems. Each senior is faced with a life-altering decision with their dilemmas involving beheadings and a confusion of loyalties in Parthia, Rome’s great rival; suffering the cruelty of the Inquisition in medieval Germany; escaping the clutches of Napoleonic intrigue as a reluctant “spy”; venturing on the dangerous journey west to California through Indian territory on a prairie schooner; the irony of elder abuse reversed; and an odd campaign of public service featuring “senior commandos.” The stories of their tribulations and triumphs graphically show the strength and durability of the human spirit that defies age as well as time and geography.

      Dedication

      This effort is dedicated to all those innocent victims of sexual predators who find themselves at the mercy of a monster. God’s love be with you.

      And

      This book is a charge to those who know but won’t tell. God’s mercy be with you.

      Author’s Notes

      Bluntly, I’m not exactly sure whether I am cursed or I am blessed. A couple of years ago, I was the author of the story of two young girls who were victims of a sexual predator step-father who, along with his two sons and various friends and acquaintances began abusing the girls at the time when their ages were four and five years old. The book was titled My Sister and I: We Are Survivors, and the words used in the book were precisely  the exact words—and sounds—spoken by the two women as they related their childhood experiences of being victims of their step-father, his sons and a myriad of their friends. That book set off a firestorm.

      I received thousands of letters, both by mail and by email. Many praised my meager efforts and many others damned my work. Some thought the women were fictionalizing their accounts to magnify their sufferings. Those idiots should have been with me to witness the difficulty each woman had in just talking with me about the trauma. Neither had ever spoken to a male about the subject before relating their trauma to me. Other letter writers were so concerned about typos and misspelled words that they could not understand the words and phrases used were precise and exact as spoken. There may have been a typo, but if so it was on a rare occasion, as the language used by the two antagonized females was not the precise English one learns in school. These learned individuals were so worried they ignored the vile actions of the males that arose in the women’s lives. Rape was acceptable, but don’t use a word incorrectly or intentionally misspell a word so as to convey its exact circumstance. They should have realized that an editor would not allow so many mistakes if such action was not deliberate.

      There were, however, a great number who applauded the courage of the two women who stepped forward to tell the world that there is evil out there and that evil is often perpetrated on the young and innocent, while the learned people don’t want to accept the truth. Actually, I don’t blame the Nay-Sayers all that much; I didn’t want to accept that man could be so vile; could treat the young, the innocent, the unaware in such a depraved manner. Still, seeing the anguish in four eyes, hearing the damning evidence given by two mouths, and spending hours upon hours with tape recorders and many more hours writing and rewriting, I must confess that I like mankind much less today than ever before.

      I thought that publishing My Sister and I: We Are Survivors would end my involvement in sexual abuse. Was I ever wrong! Hundreds, no—make that thousands—of cards, letters, telephone calls and emails literally snowed me under with requests to inform me of the same sort of experiences suffered by these people who were contacting me. I was astonished by the sheer number, because I believe that I received a great number more responses than the number of books sold (at least according to my publisher) and some of those replies came from Canada, England, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Australia, Japan and even Russia, among others. Even as surprised as I was by the turnout, I was absolutely stunned by the number of males who contacted me to relate their personal experiences. At least ten percent of the correspondence was from males, man and boy.

      To tell the truth, I had already heard enough about sexual abuse; a lot more than I ever wanted to know. As the Good Book says, My cup runneth over. I had decided to put the correspondence aside and move on with other endeavors. I was in the midst of creating a series of books about the history of the United States, namely the America The Great: The  Birth of a Nation, together with my son. I was also in the completion stages of another work, "Slavery – in the United States and Around the World. In other words, my plate was full of current and future endeavors. And then I received one last piece of correspondence. It knocked me for a loop.

      My friends and fellow writers suggested that I should not write this book. My editor was in agreement.. I believe that my friends were fearful that some psychotic nut would read another book about sexual abuse and decide to abuse me. And I believe my editor was fearful that I would get stuck in a rut of writing books about sexual abuse, books that are far from making the New York Times best seller list, in fact books that generate almost no profit for anyone – author or publisher.  No one wanted me to write this book except for two people: the man who sent me the information—and me.

      It wasn’t exactly that I wanted to write this book; it was a compulsion.

      First reading the letter that Paul sent and then sifting through the information that he made available, I knew that I had to write this last book about sexual abuse. Perhaps I shouldn’t say that I am writing the book, in actuality I am using Paul’s words, languages and phrases to relate his story … a story that you will find troubling if not actually unbelievable.  Nonetheless, all of the information that I have been able to develop from various sources only serves to validate the events that Paul relates. Furthermore, I will repeat that a significant number of the correspondents that have communicated with me are male and their stories parallel Paul’s own tale of sexual molestation. I’ll let you read and decide for yourself.

      Dear Mr. Owensby:

      I am writing this letter to you today because last week I was able bring myself to read a copy of one of your books. You know – the one about the two girls who were raped by their step-father and his sons. I also read some of the reviews on amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com. Boy, some of those people are complete idiots or even worse, complete fools. Don’t they realize that rape and incest is a lot worse than bad language?  But, I guess they just don’t understand.

      Anyway, the reason I am writing to you is to alert you to a situation involving male sexual molestation, especially the young ones. From everything I can read, almost everyone is concerned only about girls, young and old, who are being sexually assaulted. And I guess that is fair, considering how many cases of abuse takes place every day. On the other hand, I read very little about men, or males, being sexually assaulted and I can assure you that there are many of those cases. One of male sexual abuse is mine.

      I am enclosing with this letter a bunch of notes covering everything that happened to me, as well as a lot of statistics that I have accumulated since I became an internet ‘nut’. I don’t know if anything that I have learned will be of any help to me, but perhaps my story will encourage other men to come forth and reveal the truth about sexual molestation in their lives, their family and their country. The situation is bad and made even worse by those who just refuse to accept that there are mean people who will assault the weak, the young, the innocent.

      You are at liberty to use my information in any manner you see fit, cut and adapt it to your use. As for as royalties, I do not need the money any publication may generate, and in fact would have difficulty explaining to my wife and family why I am receiving money from a stranger. You see, no one in my family is in the slightest manner aware of the events that occurred in my past. Bluntly, I am too ashamed – still – to reveal the truth to my loved ones. Perhaps if you see fit to put this book into print I will be able to give them a copy … perhaps, but most likely not.

      If one person should read my story and is able to either overcome his problem or help someone else, then maybe it was worthwhile.

      Sincerely and God Bless,

      Paul B…………(I would appreciate it if you didn’t use my last name unless you feel you must.)

      From My Notes and My Life

      In the Beginning

      You haven’t got it quite right. With all of the publicity and the books and the articles that are in the media and the public today, you might think that only the female gender is subject to sex abuse. But, that just ain’t so. Men and boys—especially young boys—are also the victims of the crimes of sexual assault, sexual abuse, and rape. In fact, in the U.S., statistics on reported sexual abuse cases reveal that over 10% of all victims are male. The numbers most authorities have cited are that one in every six boys is sexually molested before reaching the age of sixteen. I know, because I’ve made it a point to learn all that I could
