The twenty-sixth book in the Mountain Life Western Adventure series from Charles Ray!
Caleb is hired by Jackson Monroe, an official from Washington, to scout a trail to Yellowstone National Park and accompany him on a recon mission of the park in preparation for a visit by none other than the president of the United States, Chester A. Arthur. This will not, however, be a vacation, despite the president’s love of fishing. Local businessmen and speculators as well as some of the visitors are despoiling and destroying the park and General Philip Sheridan, Monroe’s boss, wants to show the damage to the president in hopes that he’ll pressure congress to provide the necessary funding to properly manage the parks and preserve them for future generations.
I've been writing since my teens. In addition to writing for several newspapers and magazines in the US, Europe, Asia, and Africa, I've written two books on leadership and a number of fiction works. I'm also a published poet, photographer, and artist. I write in several genres, reflecting my broad reading tastes. I spent 20 years in the army, retiring in 1982 and becoming a diplomat. I've worked in about 10 countries and traveled to about 30 more, mining each for material to write about.
This wraps the series with a good story and message. As with other of his books it is spoiled somewhat by the poor transcriptions from the authors work to the readers pages.
Love the writing of this character and his wife and animals Would love the books to be longer as the writer keeps you wanting to turn the next page. Highly recommend this series
