Autorenporträt
Over the years, direct descendant of Private George Shannon, Bob "Shannon" Anderson edited THE RIVER CALLS many times to verify the information factual. He would question me saying, "Show me where this is in Gary Moulton's book" and I would have to prove my statement. Also, Rick Keller, who with his partner Earnie Cowan of Great War Militaria, aided me with inside information and verification facts regarding Lewis' air gun and many other 1803-06 documentation. With my inquisitiveness and fact finding, I located the gun receiving photos from Scott Metzler, the official photographer. National Parks Service team members were so gracious with their information and assistance in acquiring rights to use photos which enhanced this historic book. Sue Auger lead the way with information about Seaman while Bass Pro's "CC girls" and founder Johnny Morris verified information which enriched the book. Former Bismarck Tribune editor Ken Rogers began my interest by taking me to historic sites, encouraging me and then painstakingly edited THE RIVER CALLS. Kudos go to my friend Roger Krueger who first took me to the 2004 Bismarck ND campsite which stirred my heart and historic roots, leading to my traveling alongside the reenactors for most of the journey hearing directly their stories and photographing their adventures into history. Thank ya'll! We proceed on ... as THE RIVER CALLS
