While at home, I suddenly realised that from now on the target would be shooting back at me, and most probably more efficiently. From the front line in the Second World War to logging in Canada, from welding in Australia to teaching in the Home Counties, Roy Davidson enjoyed an extraordinarily varied working life. Born in Manchester in the 1920s to Jack and Gertie, Roy's determination to make his own choices and to follow his own path led him away from his parents into frequent clashes with authority and some unusual career choices, all of which he describes in his witty and compelling memoir.

Autorenporträt
Roy Davidson is a lawyer and an outdoorsman who has become a Blackfoot historian after finding and mapping an ancient trail that was used by the Blackfoot and their neighbours for 10,000 years. Moved by the historical significance of his discovery, he has researched Blackfoot and Native history, writing and presenting on that subject in Southern Alberta, where he lives. Feeling like he had grown up and lived much of his life with a complete misunderstanding of Native culture, he wishes, through fiction, to give his readers a perspective and a truth that was never taught him in school or life. He has traipsed the beautiful prairie and Rocky Mountain ranges where this story unfolds, and with great sensitivity and respect for the traditional Blackfoot culture, and an intimate knowledge of the early Canadian west, he has crafted a story that will captivate, entertain, and inform.
