Autorenporträt
A good deal of my childhood reading was about History. The stories of Davy Crockett, Kit Carson, Daniel Boone, Geronimo, Crazy Horse, Wyatt Earp and the long list of a young boy's heroes kept my interest. In later years the wife and I began exploring Genealogy back in the 70's. We had somewhat of a shared hobby. As a teen there was a variety of common jobs. Following graduation from high school the Army was my next adventure. I was Military Police in Vietnam, later stationed at Fort Hood Texas as Military Police. Following the army there were some opportunities as a Disc Jockey and Program Director for 4 or 5 Texas and Oklahoma Radio stations. Missing the study of History helped me decide to go to college. Completing a Bachelor's degree with a double major in History and Education was exhilarating (even with a Wife and three boys). There was full time work as a Municipal Police Officer while earning the Bachelor's Degree. A little extra money was earned by joining the Army Reserve and earning my Drill Sergeant Hat. A few years later opportunity came to became a Human Resource Director for a small municipality in Oklahoma. Then, years later back to school to earn a Master's in Human Resource Development. Back to school again; this time for a Doctorate in Adult Education. Teaching for Webster University, DeVry University, University of Phoenix and Western Governor's University was rewarding, but out of the history/genealogy circle which was more interesting to me. Retirement came about four years ago and now am content with studies of History and Genealogy. As a result, eight Genealogy books have been written (unpublished) for family members.My upcoming book is about Westward Expansion - News of the Westward Movement. This is about the period of the Louisiana Purchase and covers information from 1793 to 1906. The information in the book is straight from actual newspapers of the era. You can read about the Lewis and Clark expeditions, characters such as Daniel Boone, Jeremiah Johnson, Jim Bridger, Kit Carson and many more. Of the 80 plus characters in the book, 25 of them are my cousins ... and yes, I can prove it. Gearing up to work on a new book which will deal with actual news accounts of the Civil War. It was surprising how much information was actually printed during the war. The newspapers of the day were giving great detail about some of the major military campaigns and printed their stories the following day.My mother came from a family Surname "Wise". I am a descendant of Oliver Wise. Oliver was born approx. 1040 in England. We have researched proof that Oliver was at the Battle of Hastings in the year 1066. The Wise Family had a family motto: "Dare to Learn". Now that's a piece of History!
