About the author

Charlton Ogburn, Jr. was an author and freelance professional writer. He was the author of over a dozen books and numerous magazine articles. The Marauders (1959), his first person account of the Burma Campaign in World War II, may be his best-known work; it was later made into the film Merrill's Marauders (1962). His account of his travels along the largely deserted north eastern shore in The Winter Beach is considered a classic of nature-writing.

Big Caesar- When I took the RD condensed book apart this was a small sweet story to carry and read on the return 6 hour, 2 leg flight across the country and in many ways it felt like the continuation of The Cookcamp that I read on the way to DC. I'm not sure I understand the ending, so I may have to find the unabridged book to clarify what happened.
