Occasionally, unknown individuals engage in momentous events. They associate with iconic people standing at the heart of nations. Samuel Saunders is one of these. Beginning at age 15 and continuing until his demise, Samuel of the Nations chronicles a lad engaged in events dramatically affecting people and nations on a continental scale. Based on first-hand accounts and historical records, the reader will experience, through Samuel's eyes, decisive clashes and convulsion of cultures during the 18th and 19th centuries. Details of tribulation in the Caribbean, American Colonies, and Canada and among Native American tribes become personal testimonies of truth. It is the story of real people engaged in events that set monumental changes in motion within the western hemisphere. Changes affecting the world well into the modern era. Embraced as a son by Daniel Boone, Samuel helped blaze the Wilderness Road and construct Boones Fort. Near there, Samuel and his friend William McQuinney were attacked by Shawnee warriors. William was killed while Samuel, taken prisoner, was adopted into the Shawnee Nation, launching adventures he could never have anticipated. After three years in research the author, Norman Jay Landerman-Moore, set about writing this creative non-fiction novel, bringing human drama, adventure and national movements to greater heights of understanding while revealing a love story between an English lad and a Shawnee girl that began generations of some incredible people. It all began in Cardington, Bedfordshire England. The year was 1760.

Autorenporträt
NORM LANDERMAN-MOORE was born and raised in the Mojave desert, Sacramento Valley and Sierra Nevada mountains of California. He is the oldest of nine children, descended from Americas earliest families of Virginia during the 1620's. He, along with seven High School friends, joined and served with the United States Marines during the Cold War. Later Norm received his undergraduate degree from The College of Environmental Design at California Polytechnic University, then went on with graduate work in Urban Economics and Law. After initial years of professional service in Land-Use Planning for planned communities and return from service with ARAMCO's Planning Division in Saudi Arabia, he received a Career Executive Appointment from Governor Ronald Reagan as Chief Planner with the California State Resources Agency. Later Norm organized and founded a Strategic Planning firm, Landerman-Moore Associates, which served public agencies and private clients in the United States and abroad until 2010. Since retirement in the San Juan Islands, Norm emersed himself in genealogy. As a result of extensive family research, he began writing true accounts of ancestors which became the basis of creating three historical fiction novels, "Samuel of the Nations", "Jaded Horses", and "All But One". Beyond novels now available to readers world-wide, Norm recently completed "Where Pelicans Fly", and is working on, "Lioness of Gaza", "Quindaro", "The Eighth Heaven", and "Scribblings" which will be published over the next few years. Among several accomplishments, Norm is an experienced long-distance sailor. Twice, he crossed the North Pacific Ocean from Hawaii to Newport Beach, California in a fifty-foot sailboat. Of those experiences Norm commented, "Out there, forces of nature reveal your limits!" ... "You discover a reality. You are not invincible!"
