Produktbeschreibung
Bridging the Chasm is about two brothers, in love with the same girl as they go through adventures and trials spanning almost thirty years. It starts with the tremendous flood that created the Salton Sea in 1905, follows a battle in WW1 that credited the U. S. Marines as a separate fighting force in America, the battle of Belleau Wood. It ends in 1934 with all characters, both major and minor meeting at the construction of Hoover Dam and the build up of a city known as Las Vegas. We follow them through these periods and watch them develop along with minor characters through to the tumultuous ending where lives are lost and the two that should be together do not get together at the end.. It is fast paced with family adventure, danger, violence, humor, a little romance and history. The characters are fictional, the events happened in the past so I guess you could say it's semi-fictional. Sort of like a bridge between fiction and non-fiction. After the end of the book, all 48 states of the United States that contributed men/materials and companies will be listed plus other historical contributions in the construction of Hoover Dam during the Great Depression.
Autorenporträt
I was born in 1956 in Elkhart, Indiana and have 2 brothers and 2 sisters. I joined the Air Force in 1976 and also have been in the Army and Army National Guard. In 1993, I was finally able to graduate college at Enid, Oklahoma after accumulating college courses here and there over 12 years mostly when in the service. In 1999, I semi-retired with a little over 20 years service. I am presently a guide at Hoover Dam but have also served as a garage ticket taker and Visitor Use Assistant over the span of 14+ years. I have liked to read many books over the years and decided to finally try to write one because of the challenge. Even if it is not monetarily successful just to overcome the challenge of telling a story for others to read about is very satisfying. I retired in 2014 from the government and I am disabled.
