Biographie de l'auteur

Robert R. Hinchcliffe was born in up state New York in 1929. He comes from an extremely small family. He is the only son off an only son of an only son and he has no son, and with him his branch of the family tree dies. Since his early teens he has been intrigued by the age old question of where did we, as a people come from. A search for the answer to that question had its genesis as a result of a 1976 college English Mythology project. The result is this personal mythology spanning approximately 2800 years. Mr. Hinchcliffe is retired and lives with his wife, Jeanette, and his West Highland Terrier, "Willie".
