    About this ebook

    Morticius Alajandro Shields was known as Buzzard during much of his life, in honor of a man he greatly respected. Capable beyond his years, he leads men into the service of the Army doing construction in Texas and survey work in the southwestern region of America. Compelled to visit his sister and nephew in Alaska, he discovers gold and invests in aircraft development in America. Saving a bear cub from death, he becomes her guardian and protector, while forging a secluded life in the wilderness of Alaska.

    Child of the Baby Boomers. Wanna be Hippie, just could not afford the counterculture of drugs, psychedelic music, psychedelic art and social permissiveness. I especially could not afford the flower covered van. The culture was alluring and rebellion of any form was espoused by hot blooded Americans and many of us followed in our own fashion, leading to social invitations to see the world given by some law enforcement type person. I became a Veteran of the beginning of the Viet Nam era.I was a brilliant teenager which was both unknown and unappreciated by my superiors for three years two months and six days. I left the military with mixed emotions; joy and happiness.My stomach was removed in 1980 and my life style changed. I became an over the road truck owner operator for more than thirty years. I have seen our country from a different view than most ever will and parts of our world few will ever see.Writing since 1990, when I could. Love the way a good story flows. Hate the transitions in the middles when the flow stops. Labor with the how to and again write and edit and edit, to a point of satisfaction that I have tried. And I will try again with another book. A good idea makes a good story line and an enjoyable book.It is my hope that my books are entertaining and enjoyable.
