Description
"Inside his old log cabin my Granddad and I would finish an early breakfast and he'd give my hair a tussle, tell me to "Be back by dark", and head to the outhouse. It was 1951. I was 6. And that whole State Park he managed was my playground." From that point forward, Single Harness(c) recounts moments over the next 62 years, with 24 of them spent as part of a very special team, from humorous to historic to horrible. Reviews: Not too many generations ago Americans knew what single harness meant. It referred to an animal-usually a horse- being of strength and temperament to function alone. The term was also applied to people and it referred to "character". Being of skill, strength, and character sufficient to function alone: what a concept. But this ability is far the more unusual when there is risk to life and limb. And in the author's life, there was grave risk. I have the true honor of knowing the author. A man of character. Of strength. Of intelligence. Of humor. A hero. In "Single Harness". Dr. Adkins Internist This is a saga by one member of a Special Team that, at their government's request, helped right international wrongs and save lives while living quiet lives at home. Absolutely spellbinding! E.A. Werling International Entrepreneur
