Biographie de l'auteur

Ted McElhiney is no stranger to the Mississippi River. His father was born and raised on the Father of all Waters at Pontoosuc, Illinois, a sleepy little village which had, as its main industry commercial fishing and hunting. Ted's father, grandfather, and uncle, when not fishing during winter months, would guide wealthy Chicago businessmen onto spotted islands in the Mississippi for goose and duck hunting.The area where his father grew up was only a few miles from Nauvoo, Illinois and the area where the "Banditti" terrorized the inhabitants for many years in the early 1800's.
