Biographie de l'auteur

F. Eugene Barber has written several short stories and this is his second novel. He has an AS, a BA, and an MBA. He was born on a farm in the Midwest at the start of the Depression and attended a rural school with ten other students ranging from the first to the eighth grade. His early memories are potbellied stoves, coal oil lamps, crank phones, chopping kindling wood, and chores around the barnyard. During the Korean War he served in the Air Force and upon discharge, worked in the Aerospace  industry for most of his adult life. He spent many weekends traipsing around the western mountains and deserts with his wife, two daughters, and the family dog. Mr. Barber has worked and traveled all over the world, including Africa and the Outback of Australia, and when in conversation, tends to compare his own ancestors' hardships, in settling the West, with the struggles to explore and populate those two faraway continents. His knowledge of early emigrant movements from the more settled parts of the United States to the Great American Desert, the Southwest, and the West Coast has been accumulated over a period of over forty years. He lives in Nevada with his wife, Yvonne.
