I lived most of my life on the frontier, from a cabin in the wilderness, to the Cherokee village of my father's family, to the cities in the east, to the mountains in the west, and back again.

Mine's a good story, and though I don't like the writing, I do like the telling, and I hope y'all enjoy the reading. I've sure enjoyed the living."
